Albertson’s A+ Root Beer Old Fashioned Soda

maybe it is because i have had this for a while, but this is pretty bad. very little carbonation (which i’d expect for a soda sitting for a couple months). but the taste is very bland and dull. a little too generic i suppose. drinkable though, it is not all herb-y and grody or anything. for a store brand that costs like $.50 for the bottle, it is ok. i will have to try it again when i can drink it fresh.
Ingredients:carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, caramel color, potassium benzoate (a preservative), natural and artificial flavor, citric acid

Pennsylvania Dutch Red Birch Beer

besides Boylan’s, i don’t think any other company makes 2 kinds of birch beer. these 2 are distinctly different also. the carbonation is much calmer here and it is sweeter without the kick and any real added nonsense. it is not an amazing soda, but it is very good. unfortunately, it is very sporadic where i find it. or it WAS, now it is a lot of places, including my local supermarket all of the time, in cans and 2 liter bottles. so that is a nice thing. good job!

Wegmans Fountain W Root Beer

the fact that they state “very low sodium” on the can made me wary but then i read the little blurb about root beer that Donny Wegman supposedly wrote and i thought it might be ok. i am just confused as i drink it though, it is a weird soda. it almost tastes like marshmallows actually. but not quite. a little citrus-y maybe? not awful but definitely strange.

Dominion Root Beer

holy crud, 4 kinds of sweeteners! geez! alright, it has 42g of sugar which is about normal or even a little low, but still… the honey gives this drink a distinctive flavor. but it verges on that “too much honey” feeling you get when you drink some tea that has, well, too much honey. or if you suck on a whole load of those honey stick things. but if you sip it pretty slow, perhaps while sitting on your porch watching the critters stroll by, it is pretty good. if i was in the right mood i might rank this higher, but then again, if i was in the wrong mood, i might rank this lower, so whatever.
