hhhhmmm, this soda tastes totally different than it smells. weird. the scent is very herbal, “rooty” if you will excuse the pun. the taste though is rather sweet. it does have a slight kick but on the whole it is pretty root beer-ish. the weirdest part is that i really feel like i taste honey in here, which is not listed. i enjoy it yet i feel it tastes a little kooky. in a good way though really. yummy stuff here. especially for a canned soda.

another solid soda from Kutztown. this is a red birch which for some reason, i enjoy more than brown ones but a little less than clear ones. usually as least. the head seems to get bigger and longer laster the more i drink which is sort of strange. i think some people will find this too sweet but i do not. in fact, i can’t really tell it has cane sugar instead of regular sugar, that distinct cane sugar taste just is not here. oh well. so much the better really.

Publix Diet Root Beer

Caffeine:No

as usual, i will issue the disclaimer that i don’t like diet sodas much. nonetheless this is not half bad. yeh, there is a slight aspertame taste, but it is quite slight. sure, it doesn’t taste a whole lot like root beer per se, but i won’t count that against them too much. it is a valient effort and i would recommend this to those who can’t have sugar

this is a nice soda. a great scent, a very good flavor that is not overpowering, a fine amount of carbonation… the only flaw is that the flavor could be a little stronger. it has a little bit of a mint taste, a little strange for a sarsaparilla. not a bad thing though at all. i like the label, although a 24 oz bottle is a bit weird. whatever. i will have to try to get a keg of this, as i suspect it is even better that way.
