the molasses in this really gives it a different flavor. i am not sure how i feel about it though. it doesn’t make it taste like virgil’s or something but it is not a huge improvement. maybe i’d love it in time. perhaps i will find out some day. yeh. this is the only root beer i’ve ever had that didn’t have a twist-off top, but needed a bottle opener instead. rather annoying i think, not very nice.

probably my favorite bottled birch beer. creamier than half and half, smoother than a baby’s tummy and tasty as anything you’ve ever had. the vanilla makes it just go down SO easy. incredible to make floats with as you may have guessed. and it is from the finest state in the US of A, New Jersey! aw yeh, what more could you ask? ok, fine it is RED! how rad is that?! answer me! plus it is on fountain at the 7-11 right by my house, aw yeh! 64 oz for $1.34, gotta love that!

i love this stuff too. it has a flavor that is very similiar to their Creamy Red variety, but this one has a little mint tinge to it, making it more of an authetic birch beer. still pretty creamy and great for making a float. this may be the finest birch beer ever made. from the big NJ of course.

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.
