Free Natural Sasperilla

just the fact that they spelled “sarsaparilla” totally wrong should have clued me in here. the second clue being how bad the root beer was. i mean, if you can’t do root beer right, can you possibly do a decent sarsaparilla? but i thought the best of them and gave it a shot. i think this may take the title of the worst beverage i have ever had. it is a little bad coming in the mouth, gets worse as it fully hits the tongue and just hits bottom when you swallow it. bitter, foul, malty awfulness fully abounds here. my gosh this is just SO bad!

DANGER avoid this at all costs!

Free Natural Root Beer

so Sam from the UK was exceedingly kind once more and sent me a few more sodas to review. shortly i will be sending him a couple US brands to sample, a little cultural exchange if you will. upon smelling this, i though “this does not smell as bad as Sam says it tastes, how bad could it be?” then i tasted it. and holy marshmallows and toothpaste, this is awful! the first swig is the worst, it does get a little better but it still ranks up there as one of the worst things i have ever had. a sort of mix of grape bubblegum, pickles and sour patch kids. i just hope the Sarsaparilla is better than this. if not, i pity the English and suggest they get Sainsbury instead.

Iron Horse Root Beer

they say on the label that it is “Root Beer” like you’ve never tasted,” which i thought would be kinda difficult as it will be the 150th root beer i have reviewed. but then i got thinking, and pretty much all of them DO taste different, so it is possible… and if fact, yes, it is rather different than any other root beer i have had. it has a real burnt corn syrup taste to it that i kind of like but which kind of makes me feel ill. i like it alright but i am not going to order more or anything. if it was local, i may get it on occasion, but it is not at all. so, nice bottle, alright soda.
Ingredients:carbonated water,high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sodium benzoate (as a preservative), natural and artificial flavor

Jumpin Johnny’s Root Beer

this is another brand that people keep recommending to me so i finally broke down and ordered it from beveragesdirect.com. i actually had been meaning to place that order for a year at least but then the day i did sit down to order, they were carrying this soda in addition to the 3 i had planned to order! aw yeh! cool junk. so yeh, the soda. it is good. i can’t really taste the honey which is unusual since it is pretty strong in other brews with honey. very creamy. i really almost get a cream soda taste going on, which i mean in the best way, even if i hate cream soda. it is also very sweet, clocking in with 46g of sugar. nice! i might have to order more of this one day.
Ingredients:carbonated water, 100% pure cane or beet sugar, clover honey, natural flavor, phosphoric acid and sodium benzoate (preservative)
