I dunno what the heck “draught style head” really means, but it did have a good amount of head on it. if that is draught style, i am not sure, but so be it. this to me is what thomas kemper should be more like, a honey taste, but not overwhelmingly so, just a hint. i think it is also the vanilla in here that makes it quite a fine drink. definitely get it if you can.
Ingredients:carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, vanilla extract, natural and artificial flavors, phosphoric acid, sodium benzoate (preserves freshness), honey essence, acacia, sassafras extract

This is, without a doubt, my favorite root beer. It’s best when served as cold as possible. It’s got such a smooth, easy rootbeer flavor, followed by just the right amount of a honey-vanilla after taste.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

dear anthony,

your review, or rating, does not do henry justice. form one root beer connoisseur to another i am astonished at some of the root beers you have rated higher than henry. bulldog? boylans natural? henry is at least a legitimate 99. i’ve tasted over a hundred different root beers and henry is the most consistent, most solid, and by far the tastiest root beer out there.

Jack!
i just called em as i drink em. henry is a solid drink. exceptional? no, not at all. Bulldog and Boylans Natural are indeed far superior to it. at least to me, which is what this whole website is, my opinions on the over 400 root beers and the like that i have tried. you are welcome to submit your ratings though!
i have purchased Henry’s a couple times since the review and still feel about the same. if anything i would lower the rating as have had so many better sodas since and that was one of the first ones i reviewed, but i will stick with the rating i gave.
i appreciate your opinion though, thanks for sharing! please come back and rate some of the 100 you have tried!

This root beer has one of the most incredible heads I’ve ever seen. I’ve got maybe two ounces left in my mug and there’s still foam on top. The taste is just OK, though.

Henry’s is good, but to say it’s a 99 is a bit extreme. I’d rather have a Sonoran, River City, Jackson Hole, Fitz, or even a Gale’s over Henry Weinhard. Probably the best I can find in a grocery store, though (although I have seen a few on the shelves I have yet to try).
