Crim City Soda is a subsidiary
of Double D Beverage Company. Double D
Beverage Company was founded in 2005. It
is a Canadian company located in British Columbia.
I thought I was buying a “gamers” brew when I first purchased this brew. It
has a label and a name, a corny teenage video game. According to its website, it states:
“The Crime City Soda (CCS) Root Beer is in a league of
its own… it's a premium craft root beer enhanced with
Yucca Root Extract that really delivers a smooth, creamy taste. Our
Renegade character is smirking as he always sees the other guys getting the
cuffs, even though he's usually the one doing all the damage. If you're a true
root beer aficionado, Renegade Root Beer is you must have.” Sounds like teenage gamer grammar!

Aroma and Flavor – 1.5 out
of 3 mugs
The aroma is a very solid root
beer. The taste is very smooth with a
unique spice. There is a hint of vanilla, and the caramel is notable. Unusually
sweet for my liking. Could it be the
Yucca? Many compounds from yucca have been used in the manufacture of new
drugs. Makes me wonder what I am really drinking,
even though it was smooth and blank.
Head – 2.0 out of 3 mugs
The head is very solid. It could be
the yucca extract used as a foaming agent in carbonated beverages.
Zip – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
Overall, I enjoyed this unique flavor, but nothing can make this stand
out as an exceptional beverage.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.5 out of 3
mugs
The first sip was enjoyable, but the more I consumed it, the less enjoyable it became. I believed it was just too sweet, with an almost syrup-like aftertaste. By the end, I had no experience that made me desire a second bottle.
Would I recommend this at 6.5 out of 12 mugs?
It is worth a try if you like sweet root beer. I am unsure I would seek out the brew, but I would drink it again. I am unsure what Yucca tastes like, yet I assume it is an odd yet enjoyable flavor I can’t place.
