There's only 2 rules that I can think of right now

If you can think of anything else let me know. Cheers.

They do creamy soda as well, do you think there was a label/canning mixup?
I don't think so but who knows. I've not had their ginger beer before. There is a faint ginger beer flavour/after-taste but it tastes more like creaming soda overall to me. I just assumed that this is what it normally tastes like and wanted to warn fellow ginger beer connoisseurs.
That sounds wrong. One of the reasons I drink Kirks is because it has a very strong ginger flavour - much stronger than Bundaberg, for example. It definitely does not taste like creaming soda, so I think perhaps the other person was correct.
From the us, but if it's stronger than bundaberg, I gotta find some of that.
I'm in love with bundaberg ginger beer (and root beer for that matter).
Bundaberg isn't actually that strong IMO. Personally I think it's too sweet and doesn't have enough of that ginger spice to it. I actually prefer ginger cordial + sparkling water over any of the pre-mixed ones for that reason. Bickford's and Buderim both make nice ginger cordials.
It definately was not stronger than Bundaberg but it also wasn't their regular creaming soda flavour or colour. Maybe it was out of date and had gone a bit stale. I'll have to pick up a Kirk's from a different shop to compare.
Do you know if Kirk's does diet ginger beer?
No idea, sorry. I've never seen it but then again I've never gone out of my way to check.
