the 16 oz bottle is quite unique and a nice thing really. since i would like to savor this fine beverage for a while. some drinks that try to do the sweetened with honey thing are overwhelmed by it, but not sprecher. i would think it would be even better if they used cane sugar instead of corn syrup. maybe be a little less syrupy. not that it is overwhelmingly so or anything. not very carbonated either, surprisingly, maybe i just ended up with a weird bottle. a good brew here though anyway!

I just wanted to give you a heads up that you can get sprecher in FL. i just found it through a distributor and ordered it through a local wine/spirits store.
You can also get it in Minnesota!
Wow, I’ve found a new favorite. If it used cane sugar and had a bigger head I would gave it a 99.
i have i 4 pack in my frige write now you can get it in Illinois!
In many parts of WI you can get this on draft and it’s stupendous – even better than the bottle, with a much better head and carbonation.
Bottle I am drinking right now lists Glucose Syrup instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Scott is right the draft version is much better. It makes GREAT rootbeer floats
I just completed a tasting of 54 root beers side by side — not a wise thing to do because a good 40 or so are bound to be awful. Sprecher’s was one of the keepers. Balanced, pleasing, it produced a fine creamy head with plenty of small-bubble carbonation. This one goes on my short list.
This is one of the best root beers I have tasted. If they used cane sugar instead of glucose syrup, then I think it would taste better.
They claim that if you pour it right, then it will develop a frothy head. This is not true. Sprecher needs to make their root beer have a better head and use cane sugar.
