Aroma and Flavor – 1.25 out of 3 mugs
From the outset, this beverage is a cream soda. Its aroma and flavor exhibit minimal, if any, root beer characteristics. Notably, this brew possesses the third-highest sodium content among the 91 root beers I evaluated.
Head – 0.75 out of 3 mugs
The head was nearly non-existent. Within seconds, there was no remnant to see.
Zip – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
The carbonation is low, and the vanilla and sugar are high.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
This beverage is exceptionally sweet and vanilla-flavored. I found traditional root beer to be lacking in flavor. While I enjoy vanilla cream, the excessive sweetness and sodium content were not to my liking. The high sodium content of 90 mg is readily apparent.
Would I recommend this at 5 out of 12 mugs (4.25 out of 9 mugs without head)?
If you are a connoisseur of sweet vanilla cream soda, I highly recommend adding this product to your inventory. For those seeking a harmonious blend of vanilla and root beer, simply combine it with your preferred strong root beer to create a well-balanced beverage.
