Ozark Mountain #82 - 9.3 of 12

Ozark Mountain Bottleworks, Inc. was established in 2009 by Debbie Walters and Tina King, a mother-daughter duo. Tina’s husband, Chris King, is also a co-owner of the company.


I once again noticed Quillaia Extract in the ingredients. Please provide information about Quillaia Extract. After conducting extensive research, I discovered that it serves as a foaming agent—an artificial ingredient that creates foam in beverages. I had previously assumed that foaming agents were exclusively used in detergents. However, the last three ingredients received low scores, and I am hopeful that this is a positive development.



Ingredients:

Carbonated Water, Sugar, natural flavors, caramel color, quillaia extract, phosphoric acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), potassium sorbate (preservative)

Aroma and Flavor – 2.4 out of 3 mugs

Upon opening the bottle, a delightful aroma of sweet vanilla and well-balanced root beer wafted out. The initial sip was sweet yet robust, characteristic of pure cane sugar. Despite its sweetness, there was a subtle syrupy undertone. A faint aftertaste, likely attributed to Quillaia, slightly diminished the overall experience. The beverage was remarkably creamy, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and a hint of wintergreen. Notably, a sarsaparilla-like flavor emerged, which was quite pleasant.


Head – 2.25 out of 3 mugs

The head was near-perfect, though the foam was very dense.


Zip – 2.5 out of 3 mugs

This is a well-balanced brew. The flavors create an intriguing combination, with none overpowering the others.


Post Consumption Impression – 2.4 out of 3 mugs

The beverage was exceptionally smooth. The only minor drawback was a subtle syrupy sensation and a slight aftertaste, which slightly reduced its overall score. However, these were not significant enough to deter me from purchasing the brew again.


Would I recommend this at 9.3 out of 12 mugs?

I suggest giving this a try.  I enjoyed the brew significantly.
