Jade Forest Original Ginger Ale Review – Mishry

Jade Forest Original Ginger Ale claims to have the signature sharpness of whole ginger paired with a blend of unique spices and some citrusy flavor notes. Here’s all you need to know. 

1. Packaging

From our initial review (September 2020) to the new variant, the packaging of this bottle has upgraded to a more vibrant, classy-looking label. In addition to the basic details like net quantity and product category, there are some eye-pleasing green and peach tones. 

2. Main Ingredients

Carbonated water, cane sugar, deionised apple juice concentrate (10.5%), acidity regulator (INS 330), preservative (INS 202), sweetener (INS 960) are the main ingredients used in the making of this ginger ale. 

3. Taste

Does this make for a delectable mixer? Is the sweetness balanced? 

4. Flavour

Is the gingery spice present? If yes, how dominant is it? If not, what flavors does this beverage hold?

5. Texture

The texture is one aspect that gives carbonated beverages an upper hand against fruit juices and other non-fizzy drinks. Crisp, refreshing, and fizzy, did Jade Forest ginger ale have these textures?

6. Colour

Ginger ales are typically mild amber-colored beverages. Was this visually appealing?

7. Refreshing Factor

A hot summer afternoon or ending a long week, is this refreshing enough?

8. Nutritional Facts

This is a low-calorie beverage that offers 22 kcal per 100 ml. It has 5.32 grams of carbohydrates, out of which 5 grams is sugar. 

9. Price

A 250 ml bottle is priced at Rs 85. 

Ginger ale, as the name suggests, must primarily lend a prominent gingery flavor, whether you consume it as-is or like a mixer. Before we dive into discussing the flavor, the following are some observations about aroma, fizz, and other non-tasting parameters of our review.

This has a robust ginger aroma. We liked that the intense fizz did not reduce till the very last sip. The bold fizz combined with the flavor of ginger gives this beverage a sharp zing!

The flavor of ginger and the balanced sweetness makes for a tasty drink that you wouldn’t mind having after work or with your lunch. That being said, the citrusy ginger flavor was a bit lesser than we would have liked. This is definitely more fizzy than gingery.
