Paisley Drinks Ginger Beer

Launched in 2018, by founder Brian O'Shea, Paisley Drinks produces craft sodas using unrefined sugar and are listed as being gluten free and vegan friendly. The sodas are produced in Paisley, a town to the West of Glasgow in Scotland. I wished I had been able to find some of their other flavors on this trip.

There is a very pungent ginger aroma. Each sip has an almost medicinal quality to the level of ginger flavor. It’s very strong. The liquid is clear, but lightly cloudy, not golden in color. While the taste is bold it is less "fiery" than expected. Many ginger beers can be almost hot when sipped. This one is very strong but tolerable, unlike some ginger beers I’ve had. So if you like ginger beer but want something a little easier on the palate give this is try. Being a smaller label though it may not be found outside of the Northern UK.
