Review: Henrys Hard Ginger Ale

by Jeff Ellingson

Henrys Hard Ginger AleHenrys Hard Ginger Ale was just introduced along with the previously reviewed Henrys Hard Orange Soda.  While Ginger Beer originated in the UK in the Mid 1800th century, Hard Ginger Ale is riding the wave created by a tsunami named Not Your Fathers Root Beer.  Ginger Beer, led by brands including Goslings, Barritts, Reeds, and Crabbies are typically mixed with dark rum to make a Dark and Stormy or with vodka and lime juice to create a Moscow Mule.  Henrys Hard Ginger ale joins the previously released Coney Island Hard Ginger Ale, and Not Your Fathers Ginger Ale.  Others will follow.  Henrys is made by the Blitz-Weinhard Brewing Company, a division of Miller-Coors in Milwaukee Wisconsin with cane sugar and natural ingredients.  The Henry’s name comes from Henry Weinhard a German immigrant who purchased a brewery in Portland Oregon in 1864, that was the longest continuous operated brewery in the West, when it was shut down following their acquisition, by the Miller Brewing Company in 1999.  The brewery survived Prohibition by producing a line of soft drinks.  Henry Weinhards soda is still sold today, although they do not offer a ginger ale flavor.It pours to a pale straw color with a head that dissipates quickly.  The aroma is ginger ale with a malty backing.  Henrys Hard Ginger Ale has a soft drink feel, and while the cane sugar taste is sweet, there is not a corn syrupy finish to it.  As a Diet soda drinker, I find most regular soda to be over sweet.  I don’t get that here.  The ginger taste comes through at the entry balanced by a lemon lime soda backing.  It finishes with a touch of ginger spiciness, and a hint of malt flavor, that is the only hint this is not a standard Ginger Ale.

    Does Henry’s Hard Ginger Ale use natural ginger?

      Henry’s lists their ingredients as alcohol, natural flavors and cane sugar. It does not contain real ginger.
