this is not really even root beer, and was not intended to be until Coke bought it and claimed it was. ( more info) that “bite” isn’t much of anything either. probably the dumb caffeine or something. i dunno, sometimes i am into Barq’s but not usually. it is probably my last choice among major and most minor root beers. yes, the Barq’s i get has caffeine! perhaps some places in the US or abroad it does not, but here it does. actually the “real” Barq’s is quite tasty and i always get it when i go to New Orleans or the vicinity, that seems like something else entirely to me.

Ingredients: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sucrose, caramel color, sodium benzoate (to protect taste), citric acid, caffeine, artificial and natural flavors, acacia

This is my personal favorite when it comes to root beers. It doesn’t have a true root beer taste, but then again i like to drink it, not make root beer floats out of it (there are better root beers for that). This one has what i would call a more mature taste, something that must be aquired. This soda got me through highschool (4 to 6 20 oz bottles a day), i will always love this brand the best.

It’s OK, not great by any means. The same rating for diet Barqs.
