It s a snappy ginger that helps clear sinuses and tastes delicious! she wrote. What Vermonter doesn t need a dose of snap and sinus-clearing in the middle of winter? The ginger ale ($10 to $13.99 for a 4-pack of 12-ounce bottles) is exceedingly gingery and not overly sweet. Solids from the real ginger juice are visible settled at the bottom of the bottle.

Joe Parent, who works in information technology at University of Vermont, said when he first tried Venetian he thought, Wow, this is real stuff. It s not like waving the canister of ginger over. You can actually see the ginger in there.
