Aroma and Flavor – 2.4 out of 3 mugs

This root beer has an excellent root beer aroma, which immediately raised my expectations. I was not disappointed. While it lacks the heavy vanilla flavor I typically prefer, it offers a genuine, simple homemade root beer experience. The sweetness level is lower, with sugar amounting to 3.17 grams per ounce and sodium at 1.25 milligrams per ounce. Although not the lowest, this is a notable distinction. If it had a hint of vanilla, it would be nearly perfect. Interestingly, it also had a subtle cherry flavor. 


Head – 1.5 out of 3 mugs

The head was diminutive and dissipated rapidly, exhibiting an average level of quality.


Zip – 1.75 out of 3 mugs

 The low carbonation and minimal ingredients distinguish this category from its peers. While it has a satisfactory taste, it deviates from traditional root beer, offering a gourmet soda with a subtle cherry undertone.


Post Consumption Impression – 2.25 out of 3 mugs

Although it was enjoyable, it was more akin to a low-carbonated, effervescent beverage rather than a robust root beer. I would not hesitate to consume it again. The initial sip was enjoyable, but the enjoyment diminished with each subsequent sip.


Would I recommend this at 7.9 out of 12 mugs?

It is worth trying. It comprises a blend of scores from other users. I comprehend that it is an average-tasting yet enjoyable beverage.
