Penny
Cola Company originated in 2013 in California. The website has a short history statement. It is “Penny Cola
was created in 2013 by some of us who were tired of drinking corn. Enough
Said.” Short and tow the point, I
guess. Unlike others, they have a
funky you tube video.
It is time to get a root beer review started! (Click here for information on the rating criteria and a table of all
the root beer tested or to be tested.)

Aroma and Flavor – 2.25 out of 3 mugs
Upon reading the label, I saw a relatively high sodium count. I was expecting a sharp taste that
comes from sodium. The first aroma
sensation I had was a little medicinal.
So I had less than high hopes.
Then I took my first sip.
It was nothing like I expected.
It has a nice array of flavors blended to confuse me as to what I was
really drinking. There was a clear
sassafras and sodium aftertaste, almost a little much.
Head – 1.0 out of 3 mugs
The head rated at 1.00 is almost excessive. It had large foam yet it took less then 10 seconds to
totally disappear from sight.
Zip – 2.25 out of 3 mugs
There is a
tantalizing mix of flavors. Unfortunately
it is clear that the sodium content is higher than many I have tasted. There are hints of wintergreen and
vanilla with a strong sassafras aftertaste.

Consumption Impression – 2.25 out of 3 mugs
This was well
rounded. Not the best but I assume
it will finish in the top 25 once I finish he 100 root beers in the pile.
Would I recommend this at 8.0 out of 12
mugs?
It is worth a
try as there is nothing outstanding yet nothing terrible.
