Thorpe’s Root Beer

a taste that is not so much off the root beer path, but definitely different and definitely good. quite sweet though, but i like that myself. and a kinda strange tangy thing happening in there. i’d like to try this again sometime definitely. a fine brew.

Thomas Kemper Pure Draft Root Beer

the honey sweetening gives this a different flavor than the rest. whether that is bad or good is up to the drinker i suppose, the first time i had it, i didn’t like it mch, but on the second try i grew to think it pretty yummy in a weird way. if they put a bit less honey i may like it even more i think. no real bite at all, it goes down smooth.
Ingredients:carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, pure Washington honey, natural and artificial botanical flavors, sodium benzoate (for freshness), maltodextrine, phosphoric acid, pure vanilla extract, salt and natural sassafras bark extract

Pirate’s Keg Root Beer

a bit too generic with no real special kick of its own. made by the people who make Jolt, so of course it has caffeine, which is kinda weird. anyhow, i just can’t find anything too distinguishing about this. i think it’s be better with real sugar instead of corn syrup since it is a bit too syrupy, but not insanely. not a bad drink at all, it almost defines what people imagine root beer to be like.

Dad’s Root Beer

quite a tasty blend. a bit weak but it has a hint of licorice and perhaps cinnamon that keeps it distinct if you pay enough attention. not exactly my first choice, but definitely a solid contender among the big brands. many claim it is too medicine-like but i’d have to dis-agree on that one. i have been having a harder and harder time finding this stuff though. it was semi-plentiful in cans at Costco and a couple other big box stores but it has slowly gone away. and in bottles? very little chance of that, much like most brands i suppose.
Ingredients:carbonated water, sugar, caramel color, natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate (a preservative), and citric acid
