They use a cute
gimmick on the bottle. They refer to Dad’s root beer as “The Better Half.”
I tried to find information on the brew.
The bottle states to go to www.momsrootbeer.com,
but that comes up as “404 (page not found) Error”. It also said, “Distributed by Core Beverage, Minneapolis, MN,” but that company has no website or information. So, I do not have much background on this
beverage. That is too bad, as I like
knowing how it originated and evolved.

Aroma and Flavor – 1.5 out
of 3 mugs
The aroma is
a little medical. Almost like there is
mint mixed with slight vanilla. The
first drink was very watered down, although the flavor grew with the second
drink. Unfortunately, this is not the
better half in my opinion. Both the
aroma and flavor are average at best.
Head –0.5 out of 3 mugs
The head was almost non-existent. Some people prefer little or no head to the beverage. I prefer a medium head with a larger foam
bubble. This could have been better.
Zip – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
While
the first drink had little or no zip, that was just a sip. If you take a larger drink, the carbonation provides
a little sensation, but the flavor mix does little in this category.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.75 out of 3
mugs
I scored this brew higher than it
deserves, as the beverage was better than the 3.5 in the first three categories. However, I could not score it higher as the post-consumption impression was average, at best.
Would I recommend this at 5.25 out of 12 mugs?
While this is not a terrible brew, and I would not
turn it down if offered, I would not seek out the beverage. That is unfortunate, as the play with the name
is the bed part of the beverage.
