wow, also a very fine beverage. strangely i see Hank’s Root Beer all over the place, but i have only seen this birch beer in 2 places in Wilkes Barre. odd indeed. oh well. it is a red birch, but it is minty which is a little bit weird since it is usually the clear birch beers that are minty. quite a bit of fizzy to it, but still a little bit of a creamy undertone, behind the fizz and the minty-ness. actually i think i like this a tad more than their root beer. definitely get it if you can find it. maybe try and mail order it even.

this would be Whole Foods store brand. it is another “natural” root beer. the brew only has four ingredients (purified carbonated water, cane sugar, natural flavors and caramel color), but who knows how many “natural flavors” there are in here. it has a real bite to it, but not much else. not really a taste either, just that initial, sort of bitter thing that hits your mouth. for such a natural beverage, it is alright, but i hope for more if you are going to harvest the cornicopia of “natural flavors.”
Ingredients:filtered carbonated water, pure cane sugar, natural root beer flavor and caramel color (from cane sugar)

if they made no claim that this was root beer at all, i might like this some, but there is less than ZERO rootbeer taste here. it is a carbonated fruit juice. it has lemon juice, cloves, vanilla, ginger, peppermint and cinnamon (all certified organic of course). if someone thinks this even slightly taste like root beer, they deserve a big ole kick in the noggin.

i don’t really know if this is actually a different soda than the Polar Birch, but i think it tastes different and it definitely has a different name and junk. this does not taste like much of anything either though so i could see how i said what i did above about the birch beer. barely flavored, carbonated sugar water here. yes indeed.
