Natural Brew - #76 reviewed, 7 out of 12

Born in the summer of 1994, this brew was specifically formulated to fulfill consumers’ demand for a high-quality, carbonated beverage. Employing traditional microbrewing techniques, it effectively extracts the robust flavor of all key ingredients. Crafted in limited batches, the ingredients harmonize to create a full-bodied, rich flavor profile devoid of artificial additives or preservatives. The root beer is purportedly composed of a rich amalgamation of vanilla, anise, sarsaparilla, licorice root, birch, and other flavorings.



Ingredients:

Sparkling filtered water, evaporated cane juice, natural flavors, bourbon vanilla extract, anise, sarsaparilla, licorice root, birch oil, wintergreen oil, caramel color, and phosphoric acid.

Aroma and Flavor – 2 out of 3 mugs

The aroma is subtle, and the initial sip was quite impressive. However, this gradually led to confusion. The beverage contained notes of vanilla, licorice, wintergreen, possibly birch, and a hint of honey. It was challenging to categorize this beverage as root beer, as it lacked Coca-Cola's lime flavor. There is a distinct earthy aftertaste.


Head – 1.25 out of 3 mugs

A relatively large head that gradually dissipated.

Zip – 2 out of 3 mugs

This beverage is rich and full-bodied, with flavors slightly muted by the higher carbonation. 


Post Consumption Impression – 1.75 out of 3 mugs

While I found the product enjoyable, I did not find it particularly captivating. As I consumed more of it, my interest waned. Despite this, the product boasts delightful flavors, seemingly derived from a Coke base.


Would I recommend this at 7 out of 12 mugs?


If you seek a robust cola, this beverage is highly recommended. However, if you prefer a root beer, this brew is less appealing. While I would consider purchasing this product again, I am pretty selective in my beverage choices.
