Blending kombucha with what is essentially ginger ale, Live Kombucha Soda’s Ginger flavor is arguably the company's best effort to date. For starters, ginger is a flavor that is used extensively in the kombucha category, so this product is definitely something that will be familiar to both kombucha drinkers and soda drinkers alike. It’s moderately sweetened with evaporated cane juice and stevia, while some moderate carbonation gives the product its crisp flavor. The kombucha doesn’t really have a fermented flavor to it, but instead it adds a light tea flavor to the backdrop. However, you still get the benefit of live probiotic cultures (you can read about them on the back of the label). Otherwise, the product has 60 calories and about 13.5 grams of sugar per bottle. All in all, it’s a very well-executed and enjoyable formulation. Packaging is a 12 oz. glass bottle, which has the company's recently upgraded branding. The product has a very clean and personable label that has a positive and good for vibe. There’s minimal text on the front of the label, which is a good thing, while prime placement of the USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project badges should help the marketability of the product. Overall, a very solid addition to the Live Kombucha Soda lineup.
