Bundaberg Ginger Beer

I love the drinks so much, but everytime I put the lid back on the drink if I want to save it for later, i always manage to cut myself. So i do think the lids need to be redesigned Show details

Ginger Beer No Longer – The flavour of Bundaberg Ginger Beer has changed. Used to love this product, however taste of ginger has disappeared. Now looking for another brand. Show details

One of the great ones – I don’t drink soft drink to be healthy, i drink it to enjoy it. Thank bloody goodness Bundaberg understand this and aren’t afraid of putting real sugar in their drinks. Love the ginger beer, best softy available. Show details

Perfect refreshment on a hot day! – Love Bundaberg Ginger Beer - especially on a hot day! Water may be recommended by the medicos but sometimes you need something with a little bit "more" - and Bundy Ginger Beer hits the spot! Show details ·  1

disappointing taste – bunderburg ginger beer used to be the best of the best , now tastes off, not gingery, rubbish, what changed , how to loose market position.

Where's the Ginger – Where's the ginger, no real ginger taste, not like days past when you knew you were drinking Bundaberg ginger beer after every taste you would get the ginger bite. Show details

What's happened? – What has happened to the iconic Bundaberg Ginger Beer? I am sure they have changed the recipe. My partner and I have been drinking this ginger beer for years, and have both noticed a change in the taste. Where has the ginger taste gone? Now tastes like sweet water. Time to find a new 'go to' drink. Show details

Way to expensive – This product is way to expensive for the average taste. Will be going back to james sq better taste and far better price, if i could return for a refund i would. Show details

It’s not what it used to be! – This Bundaberg Ginger Beer is not what it used to be! I’m living in Luxembourg in Europe and used to enjoy drinking it in Australia. Once I see it on the shelves in Cactus Supermarkets in Luxembourg, well I did see it was the same taste. However, over the last several years, it has lost the plot in ways as all the other people have already stated.… Read more

Between Australia and abroad, it has changed and the canned replies are excuses. It’s less ginger, less sugar and does taste more watery and flat (even after it’s hung upside down) than when I bought it several years ago abroad. If I want to drink water, I can for free or buy bottled water cheaper than it. I for one will put a lid on this with my remaining purchases. I was a regular buyer home and abroad, and now I’m actually going onto Old Jamaica Ginger Beer. I used to say this about Bundaberg, but at least Old Jamaica has taste, it’s gingery, spicy, tangy and is more potent. As a side note: It even has aphrodisiac properties for people. Bundaberg are canning reviews and have actually changed their entire structure, and regular drinkers know it all too well. My advice is there’s other ginger beer types out there that’ll nicely kick you in your throat. Don’t think I don’t notice Bundaberg, as even over here in Europe it’s not the same anymore! The excuses are the same year after year throughout the years, so where is the traditional tasting ginger beer? Where is that maximum flavor in every bottle gone to? It’s less sugar, it’s weak like it’s flat, it’s not what it used to be, or the “family recipe” today would still be the same as it was in the 80’s! Whoever your “experts” are, ruined a tradition for people that grew up loving it, to now feeling disgusted by its handling. But it’s all about your profits, not your consumers nor your loyal customers, so throw another canned response down below and go brew more of your water!

Definitely not like it used to be – I have been drinking Bundaberg Ginger beer for as long as I can remember, Something I have noticed recently is that it doesn't seem to have the same "Bite" it used to. I've started drinking the Old Stone Ginger beer and it has in my opinion what Bundaberg has lost. Show details

Not a traditionally fermented product – As a long time drinker of Bundaberg ginger beer I was so disappointed to find the last bottles I purchased (6 pack) from Coles Supermarket was a flavoured carbonated beverage full of preservatives. As stated by other reviewers the zingy flavour is gone. Although the Bundaberg website still states the product is fermented with yeast and sugar over… Read more

a period of days this is clearly not the case anymore. If the recipe has been changed Bundaberg should be honest with customers, update their website which is misleading and stop implying that their recipe is ‘traditional’. Loyal customers will know this is not the same product. No longer a customer :(

Oh dear! – I have never left a review before, but I have never been so disappointed with a product change before. Listen to your customers Bundeburg. You have trashed a fine product.

Ginger beer flavour – I have always bought your ginger beer. But like so many others something it it makes me feel sick. It’s like there is a sweetener in there. Whichever, they all make me feel sick. Aspartame for instance. I will not buy it again. Annette. New Zealand

The taste has changed, very disappointing – Not the same taste. It doesn’t have that ginger zing that it use to have. Very disappointing. Certainly won’t be buying it again. I will have to find a new favorite drink.

Y'all took the easy route – I had thought there were going to be one or two businesses that would never lower the quality because EVERYONE was willing to pay high prices for that quality but now it's like someone diluted it then replaced the flavour with Stevia sugar (yes ik Stevia isn't in it) You could have upped the price a couple dollars and still get sales purely for… Read more

the guarenteed quality we are familiar with. It's like ferrero rochets, they're ridiculously priced but I still plan to buy them many times so long as they don't change ANYTHING. You have the whole world recognise your brand as THE brand for Bundaberg, it is rare to have a product ppl will adore even through a large price tag, you've made things harder for yourselves.

You used to have balls. Now, just sweet mediocrity… – You changed your recipe. Got rid of the boutique zest and flavor that gave you an iconic class all to yourself. Now, you’ve upped the sweetness to sickening levels and dulled down the tang for an overall experience that is as satisfying as… drinking flat sweet ginger beer. Congratulations though, You’ve been able to sell more of this lolly… Read more

water to a wider market. Please don’t send your cut and paste reply about “seasonal variances” blah blah blah. You’re not what you used to be and you know it. If you want to rectify, bring back your original flavor. One that actually made you feel alive.

What’s happened to the once loved favourite?! – I’m afraid I have to concur with everyone else on this one. I bought a 10 pack of the original Bundaberg Ginger Beer, and must say the flavour is awful. You used to be able to see bits of fresh ginger when held up to the light, I saw a very small amount of murkyness. Far too much sugarcane in there now, with zero after zing you used to get from the ginger. It’s a real shame as this was my go-to drink Show details

Too sweet and not enough ginger – I still enjoy this Ginger beer only was expecting a more ginger flavour with some heat in it. This is way too sweet and the ginger is hardly present which is disapointing seeing as I am a ginger fan. Has 'natural' flavour it ... Makes me wonder if it has sugarcane and fresh ginger in it ???? why does it need extra flavour..? Update - 9 months… Read more

later Saxbys by the dozen are delayed so thought I'd try Bundy again. Took a little getting used to after being a regular Saxbys drinker ... wasn't appealing at first but eventually improved. One noticeable difference is the lack of Ginger. I focused on the aftertaste and burn you get from Ginger. After 15 seconds, a minute, 2 minutes ... I couldn't detect any throat tickle/burn at all ... I couldn't tell. Did they forget to add the Ginger, I wonder..?

Flat, Flavourless & too Sweet – I always enjoyed the strong ginger taste that gave a little burn in the mouth & throat as it went down. But I was disgusted by this latest effort. It tasted as if somebody had forgotten to add the Ginger & it was flat & overly sweetened almost to the point that I might suspect that somebody actually forgot the brewing process. My mother & brother also split the bottle with me & all agreed too sweet, flat & little to no ginger taste. Show details

The King is Dead – Used to be THE iconic ginger beer. Perfect balance between sweetness and zing. Awesome on its own or with rum. Now it’s overly sweetened and the zing is so far gone it tastes flat. So sad.

Too sweet – Use to luv this with a rum ,but now find it way too sweet. I’ll look around for another brew.I’ll go to the ginger factory and try theirs next week

I used to love it – I used to love this brand of ginger beer but the last two times I have bought this drink from two different cases on two different occasions it tasted terrible and very different from what it used to be. Show details

Love this ginger beer – This is a yummy tasty fresh ginger beer with a ginger heat at the end. I buy it especially in summer for a special treat. It’s perfect chilled on a hot day. It’s tasty and refreshing.  Show reply
