There is a beverage from the
Vermont Sweetwater Company. Vermont Sweetwater Bottling Company is a small family-owned and operated company producing all-natural beverages. Their website states, “made with the finest ingredients.” Yes, that is right from the website. They use ingredients, not ingredients like most others. It may be a Vermont thing?

and Flavor – 1.25 out of 3 mugs
My
first thought was, this is almost clear, how can it be root beer. It is also sweetened with evaporated cane
juice. What is that?
It looks more like a Sprite or ginger ale. Upon opening,
it smelled like Sprite. The first drink
was different from what I expected. It is overly sweet and was like a hint of sassafras and extra wintergreen in low-carbonated Sprite. This is not a root beer by any
means. Could it be a wintergreen/honey
crisp apple ginger ale or cream soda?
Head
–1.0 out of 3 mugs
The
head was rather small and quickly dissipated without a trace.
Zip
– 1.5 out of 3 mugs
The zip has the highest rating of all three categories. When I drink the beverage, I don't feel carbonation or a punch, but more of a “what is this” thought. I can’t place it anywhere, and it is intriguing.
Post Consumption
Impression – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
While this is rated low, it is not the worst beverage. In fact, if it resembled root beer, it may be the middle of the pack, and I would try it again. Only when I want something
good, with a flavor other than root beer.
Would
I recommend this at 5.25
out of 12 mugs?
The rating
is low and maybe a little harsh. I like root beer. This is far from root beer, yet it could still be an enjoyable beverage for certain occasions. I actually like it enough to buy it again, but if I crave a good root beer, I would prefer something else.
