Sassy Lil' Lass (#29 - Rated 1.5 out of 12)

Before commencing the official review, I have identified several concerns. Firstly, the label (as depicted below) indicates that this product provides 2.5 servings per bottle. Each serving is 8 ounces, and the bottle contains 12 ounces. The manufacturer possesses a greater proficiency in quality control than in proofreading. Additionally, they must exercise caution when selecting terminology. While most manufacturers label High Fructose Corn Syrup as such, this particular manufacturer has opted for the term “sweetener” instead.


Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any information about this brew online. No historical background or context is provided. The bottle explicitly states that it was established in 2014. Furthermore, I have only discovered one other review. Before proceeding, I have consumed this product twice (as an additional bottle is available), and in each instance, I discarded it. This decision was not made in the context of the review. I will endeavor to remain impartial and not be influenced by the past two negative experiences. I am not particularly enthusiastic about this product.


Ingredients: 

Water, Sugar, High-Fructose Corn Sweetener, Caramel Color, Sodium Benzoate (preservative), and Natural Flavors.

Nutrition 8 oz serving (from the bottle)

Aroma and Flavor – 0 out of 3 mugs

Initially, the beverage emitted an unpleasant, fermented odor. Upon taking a single sip, the taste evoked the memory of spoiled milk three weeks old. Despite my attempts to persuade others in the household to sample the beverage, they declined upon detecting its odor. 


Head – 1 out of 3 mugs   

It has a head, an inferior head, but it deserves a score.

Zip – 0.5 out of 3 mugs  

I gave this 0.5 because the taste is so bad; it only gets a slight nod for that reason.  Rancid is a taste, right?

Post Consumption Impression – 0 out of 3 mugs

Run, forest, run!  I do not wish any root beer lover the miserable experience I have had after just one ounce.   

Would I recommend this at 1.5 out of 12 mugs?

No way!  Never!  I am unsure how anyone could feel good about selling this product as root beer.

  1. Unfortunately this is just Berghoff's normal root beer with a vanity label. I am surprised you liked it so little, but that is the great thing about root beer, everyone has their own opinion!
