The Freeky range is Maryensztadt's AF line, and the Ginger Ale is the one that takes the brewery furthest from its roots. It's not a beer with a hint of ginger — the ginger is the point. The malt base is gentle, present mainly as body and a faint sweetness, and it carries the spice without competing with it. The ginger heat is moderate and clean rather than raw or sharp. There's a light sweetness underneath, the carbonation is lively enough to keep it from feeling flat, and the finish is dry and fairly short. It's closer to a craft ginger beer in character than a flavoured lager, which makes the 0.5% ABV almost incidental — you're not really here for a beer experience. Worth noting that it comes in a 500ml bottle, which is a bit much if you're drinking it solo with a meal. It's stocked by UK AF specialist retailers and is reasonably priced for the style. If you want something with more backbone than a soft drink but less sweetness than most commercial ginger beers, this fills that gap.
