NOTE: I would like to know if I had a bad bottle, as other reviews are high.
Reading Soda
Works produces 13 soda flavors in glass bottles. They desire an authentic “old-fashioned” feel
and a Pennsylvania Dutch taste. They have been making handcrafted soda
since 1921 and have continued at their original location without interruption. They carbonate the soda in Grundy Tanks, which contain a carbonation stone that adds carbonation under low pressure. Besides cane sugar, some say they add
Splenda.
Ingredients:
Triple filtered carbonated water,
pure cane sugar, natural and/or artificial flavors, Carmel color, citric acid,
sodium benzoate (preserves freshness)

Aroma and Flavor – 1.0 out
of 3 mugs
The
brew has minimal aroma. After the first
drink, there was an off aftertaste I could not place. The sugar level was balanced, yet my mouth was
dry after the first sip. I do not like the overall taste; there must be more vanilla, caramel, or root flavor.
Head – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
There is a significant foamy head that dissipates
quickly.
Zip – 1.2 out of 3 mugs
This well-balanced carbonated beverage combines odd flavors, making it hard to call it a root beer.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.0 out of 3
mugs
While I wanted this to be better, I preferred something else. It was almost over-fermented (if possible), and a bitter aftertaste was not pleasing.
Would I recommend this at 4.7 out of 12 mugs?
It is unique, and you should try the brew. I could not finish the entire bottle,
so I started cautiously.
