Not a root beer! That is all you need to read, but if you desire more information, please continue reading.
It took me longer than it should have to locate information on this beverage. Even the manufacturer's website failed to load (www.cripplecreekbrewing.com). I discovered that the name was trademarked in 2011 by Michael Lynn and subsequently abandoned in 2012.
The root beer store has a long history, but it seems exaggerated. Other reviews claim that this was an excellent beverage that altered recipes and ultimately destroyed them. One reviewer even compared the ingredients on two bottles (an older and a newer one) and found they differed, yet the company claimed there was no change. This is an unusual history and information.
Initially, the lid nearly detached due to a poor seal, resulting in a sour and sappy odor. Consequently, I was apprehensive about the first sip. Upon pouring, the beverage exhibited a pale color, reminiscent of cream soda.
The aroma is overpowering, and the taste is a combination of slightly fruity and sour notes. An undesirable aftertaste lingered. Notably, a cinnamon accent and molasses were discernible. Overall, the flavors are distinct but require improved integration. This soda leans more towards being a unique beverage rather than a traditional root beer. There is no discernible root-beer flavor.
This brew boasts an exceptional head. However, the head’s dissipation proved to be a significant drawback, as it was preferable to consume the brew after the head had dissipated. This factor slightly diminishes the overall score.
The carbonation level is low. The distinctive spice blend lacks the characteristic root beer flavor.
This beverage was distinct from root beer. However, a combination of root beer, Coca-Cola, and iced tea could yield a similar outcome, potentially enhancing the overall taste.
If you are seeking a distinctive soda without root beer flavor, this product may be of interest. However, the exceptionally low carbonation and sour aroma were not to my liking, and I will refrain from purchasing this beverage in the future.
