Rocket Fizz
is predominately known for its diverse candy line (some say over 4,000 varieties), but unique sodas are also a niche. A web search found that they have made over 500 varieties of soda over their history, not all directly
under the Rocket Fizz parent company.
Rocket Fizz makes this and a variety of other sodas. I have Rocket Fizz Root Beer Float and Judge Wepner’s Root Beer in my “to be reviewed” stock. I reviewed Gene Autry Root Beer. As I prepared for the review, I saw that everything about Tyler the Kid is the same as Gene Autry. I wonder if they bottle the same brew on various labels to attract a variety of connoisseurs. I will review and then look back at
the differences I noted, if any.

Aroma and Flavor – 1.75
out of 3 mugs
The
aroma was wintergreen and anise, most notably.
I was disappointed that this was labeled a Sarsaparilla, yet I have
no sense of any root. It mainly was carbonation and flavors that did not taste natural.

Head –1.75 out of 3 mugs
A very thick head that
slowly dissipated. After about a minute,
a small foam ring remains.
Zip – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
This
is not outstanding. It has a mix of flavors that have some meter, yet nothing unique. The carbonation is on the higher end of the spectrum, almost removing the
flavor.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.75 out of 3
mugs
I did not find anything I strongly disliked about this brew. It is a nice beverage with a not-so-strong root beer flavor.
Would I recommend this at 6.25 out of 12 mugs?
This is a middle-of-the-road brew at 6.75 out of 12. It's nothing spectacular, yet I would purchase it again over several others I had reviewed. It has been on my shelf for over a year, and I wonder if that impacts flavor.
