Olde Brooklyn Williamsburg Root Beer

if you are going to make a root beer taste like licquorice, it should be like this one. i don’t know if i would choose to do such a thing but i honestly am quite a big fan of how they pulled this off. not strong or overpowering or anything, but it is definitely there and you taste it. a very enjoyable root beer that does not have the generic or usual taste to it. and it has a really nice head on it. creamy and smooth all the way.

Olde Brooklyn Bayridge Birch Beer

i think this got opened a bit when i was transporting it from Po-town, so there may actually be more of a head to it than i got from this bottle. anyhow, “this is one darn good birch beer” were the first words out of my mouth after i swallowed this. sweet, but not overly so, a hint of wintergreen. maybe it could use a bit more of that. but it is definitely one of the best birch beers i have ever had.

Squeeze Birch Beer

i would say this is a decent birch beer. nonetheless the flavor is a bit hard to find, as with most clear birch beers, but it stands out more with this one than with the others. it is a nice wintergreen taste at that, which i find really tasty in a birch beer. so if you are looking for a fine clear birch beer that you can actually taste, i’d go for this one.

Mystic Seaport Sarsaparilla

strangely, this is a million times better than the root beer… that is a good thing since that stuff was toxic i think. it is not the tastiest thing ever or anything but it is pretty good. quite sweet, yet it has a little bit of a different taste, the vanilla and wintergreen i guess combining together.

Mystic Seaport Root Beer

finally got a hold of some of this and as i was warned, it is pretty awful. it is another case of throwing too much stuff with strong flavors into one thing. things from molasses to anise to wintergreen to camomile to ginger just make it taste rancid and wretched. although i suppose it is better than some of the brews of this type, it still is not something i’d want to have again really.

Goose Island Root Beer

the cane sugar here adds a different little zing to this root beer. makes it more carmel-y i suppose. it is quite a tasty little brew also in any case. i’d drink it more if i could get it anywhere near me at all. alas… such problems…
the taste otherwise is pretty traditional but a near perfect example of what that traditional taste can be. the cane sugar kicks it up a notch for me and adds a couple more review points. i know some people don’t like the taste of cane sugar, but frankly those people may not be actual people, but lizard people. or perhaps insect people. insects seem much more likely to infest corn plants than cane sugar plants, right? so of course they would be attracted to corn syrup ladden beverages. so yeah, probably not lizard people as i think lizards would be more in cane sugar fields, just hangin out in the shade and junk, than they would be in a corn field.
so if you are an insect person you may not like this too much. if you are an actual human, drink up.

Berghoff Rootbeer

yet another brand that i had heard a lot about and was told it was very good and junk. i was not terribly impressed though i must say. not that it is a bad drink, it is just rather regular and generic. i’d drink it before i’d have A&W or any major brand really but not before a lot of the really superior and unique micro brews. that they have 32′s is a major plus for them as far as i am concerned
