Rose River in the North of Melbourne brew a variety of alcohol ginger beers in various flavours. This version is the lemon version in that range. A word of warning, all of their range is targeted at the alcopop or passion pop market, so expect sugar.

This beer looks like lemon squash, or lemon dishwashing liquid. I think they want you to drink it straight out of the bottle.  Yes, this beer smells of lemon and ginger, but despite their other market beers there is not the overwhelming smell of sugar and sweetness, which is a change. Tasting this, there is not much ginger in the drink. You get an initial hit of lemon, maybe lemonade, and there is a slight after taste of ginger to give it bite, but I would not call this a ginger beer.

Summary. Part of their alcopop brand, but not as sickly as their Original version which tastes of lemon dish soap with sugar. Not my style of ginger beer.
