Sky Valley Organic Root Beer (#53, rated 3.25 out of 12)

Therefore, they utilize organic ingredients, including Apple Cider Vinegar. However, they also contain 170 mg of sodium, which is a significant amount even for organic products. This practice is commonly employed in the food industry to enhance the flavor of fat-free foods.




Ingredients: 

Carbonated Water, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Caramel Color, Organic Vanilla Extract, Natural Flavor, Sea Salt, Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Citric Acid.

Nutrition 12 oz. serving (from the bottle)

Aroma and Flavor – 1.0 out of 3 mugs

The initial aroma was questionable, lacking the characteristic root beer scent. Instead, it revealed hints of vanilla and a subtle licorice undertone. However, there was an unsettling element present.


Upon the first sip, I recognized that this would be a challenging review to compose, as I endeavor to identify the factors that render root beer enjoyable. This beverage resembled tonic water, infused with a blend of fruit and vinegar. Notably, its sodium content is twice that of any other beverage I have encountered, reaching 170 mg. Is salt necessary to mitigate the vinegar’s sourness?


Head –1.0 out of 3 mugs

The head was composed of fine bubbles lacking the distinct frothiness characteristic of root beer. This was somewhat disappointing.


Zip – 0.5 out of 3 mugs

Although I would like to assign a higher rating, the only distinctive feature I can discern is the combination of vinegar and sodium. This beverage lacks distinctive characteristics and is difficult to classify as root beer. In fact, when I drink mineral water infused with stevia drops, it is a more enjoyable experience overall.


Post Consumption Impression – 0.75 out of 3 mugs

As I consumed more of the beverage, my preference diminished. While it contains a subtle hint of vanilla, which I find agreeable, it lacks any resemblance to root beer.

 
Would I recommend this at 3.25 out of 12 mugs? 

I would shy away from this if you are looking for a root beer.
