Stolichnaya Ginger Beer Single

One of the things that distinguishes ginger beer from ginger ale is that the beer tends to have more of a ginger “bite.” But Stoli seems determined to play that down: the vodka brand’s version of the sip is somewhere between a beer and an ale — it’s got a little bit of ginger-y fire, but it’s also got a pronounced lemon-limey sweetness (Stoli makes a big deal of the fact it uses pure cane sugar in the recipe).
