We made this recipe and personally I thought that the taste was too strong and it had an overdose of ginger...

The gingerbeer we made had a slight FIZZ and made a sound like "Shhhh" (Chhhiiii)

The colour/ appearance was a golden, brown colour just like the colour of crispy Autumn leaves.

Next time we will modify this recipe by changing the amount of ginger used and maybe add 1/2 a Lime.

We recommend this recipe to  all ages of people that like strong tasting drinks.
