I consider myself a pretty good judge of beer. My beer pong skills have been honed over time, I’m a champion caps player. I’ve had bitters, lager and ales at countless bars, pubs and patios in numerous countries and I say without hesitation that the ginger lager I purchased last week is the worst excuse for a beer that I have ever tasted. I was so unsatisfied I emailed the company for some sort of refund, DENIED outright. However the customer service rep acknowledged the taste concerns by stating in his email, quote “We have been advertising in the recent weeks that this is best served over ice with a slice of orange”. Hmmm a watered down light beer with an orange slice, sounds like someone got the recipe wrong. Lesson: If you are unsatisfied with this company’s product, too bad. Moral: I shouldn’t have bought it in the first place. —Disappointed

You are correct OP, to expect a refund just because you disliked the product is pretty presumptuous. If that’s the case, I would be hounding Labbatt’s for the entire stock of swill, and I would be a rich man…
Seems to me, if you gotta add flavor to a beer so it becomes palatable, & that’s not clearly stated on the package…you’ve got a reason to be pissed & wanting a refund.
But what is nice, is now that you’ve shared just how shitty this product is with the rest of us.
Which could (it has influenced me) keep others from buying this crap…& loss of sales will doom it before too long .
Is it propeller that makes a decent ginger beer? I think the problem is ginger beer… isn’t really “beer”. This new stuff is shit, and moosehead fans are going to buy only one case and that’ll be that, because it IS gross. We bought a case too. Too bad you couldn’t buy singles. We had a bunch of people over and wanted to try it, now we’ve got half a case left in the fridge and tossed 6 nearly full bottles.
Sigh.
Ah well. Let that be a lesson to you all! Don’t buy it. It’s not beer. It’s not really even ginger beer (which you would serve over ice with rum). It’s just kind of gross.
mmm…dark and stormies
I knew someone who had their pumpkin beer or something last year and ooooomg you had to clear the room after she opened one.
I drank half of one.
Utter shit
I love a good dark & stormy too, painey.

OP, can you do better? If so, start your own brewing company.
The propeller ginger ale is awesome. No, it is not a beer. I think the OP is refering to the one that makes people yell ‘socialable’ and what-not. You know, the local one from the big company.
Yeah – it’s moosehead ginger beer that tastes like skunk piss.
that would be moose piss missy^^
I didn’t need to try it to know… sounds gross. OP, I’d go to the LC and ask for a refund. THEY actually sold it to you, unless you got it at a brewery store.
It’s been a while since I enjoyed any of that mass market crap. Almost as fizzy as Coke… little pissy taste… and almost as expensive as craft beers; GUINNESS ALL THE WAYYYYYY
Even a bad ginger beer still has to beat the old ‘lemonade’ beers of a few years ago. Good lord were those things horrid. (Tornade and Boomerang, do they even still exist?)
it’s worse now…red bull and booze
I love how it makes your heart want to explode… and looks like swamp juice.
