It
is Joe’s Root Beer! This brew is
from Joseph James Brewery in Henderson, Nevada (suburb of Las Vegas). Joseph James is a beer specialist who
like many, dabble in root beer.
They originated in 2008, so there is less than a decade of history. There’s very little information on them
on the Internet.
So we will get right into the root beer review. (Click here for information on the rating criteria and a table of all
the root beer tested or to be tested.)

Aroma and Flavor – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
Upon opening the bottle, I was not thinking this would be a solid root
beer. The aroma as a little more
beer like as opposed to root beer.
Upon the first taste it is easy to tell there is carbonated water, vanilla
and honey with little else. Since
these are two of the five total ingredients, that should be expected.
While pleasing, the overall flavor blend I love in a root beer is
missing. While I love vanilla, not without the root flavor of a good sarsaparilla. The beverage packs a higher sodium
content and is the second highest of the root beer I reviewed, albeit natural
Head – 2.5 out of 3 mugs
The head was
thinks and wonderful, but was short lived. Within 30 seconds there was only a small remnant of what was
near perfect.
Zip – 1.25 out of 3 mugs
This is pretty
simple in ingredients. For zip, it
is minimal. If they increased the
carbonation, I would think I was drinking vanilla and honey favored seltzer
water.

Consumption Impression – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
This was not terrible,
but not worth another try for me.
Would I recommend this at 6.75 out of 12
mugs?
If you prefer
a bland root beer, low carbonation with honey and vanilla, give it a try.
