oldjoe's Review of Idris Ginger Beer
13th Feb 2006
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Initial flavor is pretty good
Bad Points
Taste is ruined by the use of artificial sweeteners. Why in a non-diet beverage?
General Comments
I am a big ginger beer fan and was looking forward to trying Idris. It was very disappointing. I have never come across the use of artificial sweeteners in a non-diet soda like this before. The drink is sweetened with sugar, Asulfame K and Aspartame. This is not labeled as a diet beverage and I can only guess that it is being done to reduce costs. The aftertaste from the artificial sweeteners really ruins what would otherwise be a good (though not very spicy) ginger beer.

3 Reviews for Schweppes Ginger Beer
I was brought up on Schweppes Ginger Beer in the lovely brown bottles. Today's Schweppes is not such good ginger beer, probably because of the saccharine.

I need to check a potential issue - the review I posted was about Idris Fiery Ginger Beer - this was the only Idris ginger beer I found - but I can't say for sure that this is the only ginger beer Idris makes. Does anyone know if there is a "regular" Idris ginger beer too, or did they just rename the product?
