This is a
first. A beverage with no history
or background on the web. The bottle just mentions the distribution company out of Chicago. In fact, I am not even sure where I bought it? Could be from my girlfriends daughter as she purchased a sample pack from Christmas.
In my
search I only found nutritional information from “My
Fitness Pal”. It has higher
sodium content and it also had 5 percent daily Iron. That is a first.
With so little background, right to the review! (Click

tested or to be tested.)

Aroma
and Flavor – 2.75 out of 3 mugs
The aroma is root beer in its best. The first sip
did not disappoint. A rich sarsaparilla
flavor with noted caramel. If you
prefer little or no caramel, this is not for you. The only thing that could make it better, for me, is a hint
of vanilla. There are absolutely
no wintergreen or molasses flavors, which I do not mind, but this is better
without those added flavors.
Head
– 2.5 out of 3 mugs
The
head was fast but slow to dissipate.
They are really fine bubbles.
After 30 seconds a small amount of head remains. .
Zip
– 2.4 out of 3 mugs
The beverage has a solid
balance. The carbonization is
lower middle although I think the sodium provide a higher sense of zip.
Post Consumption
Impression – 2.75 out of 3 mugs
While I am sure there are
many who will not enjoy this beverage, it is to my liking. I like intense root beer with caramel and
vanilla. As previously stated, the
vanilla is not noted, but still a great beverage!
Would
I recommend this at 10.4
out of 12 mugs?
I suggest you give it a
try. It is smooth and
refreshing. One of a kind! Only issue is, where can I purchase this beverage? Please tell me if you find it!
They have this at the big yellow building with apples and candy just south of Jordan.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your assessment. Best I have had in a long time.
