Every time I take a sip of this stuff I just want to keep drinking until I finish the entire can. It's phenomenal.
A Late One (Ale 8 One or Ale 8 1) is an unusual soda in the sense that it is ginger flavored with a hint of citrus, lightly carbonated, and caffeinated. It is not overly sweet, and contains less sugar than most other sodas. It's clean, refreshing, and different--there is really nothing I can compare it to. Available in both cans and glass bottles, it is great in a can, but absolutely stellar in a glass bottle.
The worst part about Ale 8 One is, even though it has been around for about a century, the company isn't very large and so they don't have a large distribution network. As a result, if you live outside of Kentucky/the surrounding areas, you're generally going to have to order it online. And, as soda is heavy, the costs to purchase A Late One is high, especially if you get it in glass bottles. That said, it's totally worth it, as it's a great drink!
