upon first sip, i hated this. it has molasses and cinnamon, which i did not expect at all. after a little while i got more used to it. but i don’t really enjoy it much. it is somewhat bitter and spicey and weird. not spicy hot, but spicy like spices, ya know? cinnamon shouldn’t be carbonated i guess. strangely, a few days ago i had some cinnamon ice cream which was quite awesome and yummy. this is making me ill. just goes to show you that delivery is everything. and molasses is not always tasty.

Carters Root Beer

April 7, 2002
Filed under: root beer reviews — anthony @ 5:19 pm
Type: Root Beer Comes In: 12 oz can
Available: UK Obtained in: mail from Sam!
Head: Small Sweetener: sugar, saccharin
Caffeine: No

another english brew. and probably the first drink i have ever seen with both sugar and saccharin. the fact that it claims to be a “fruit flavour soft drink” makes me rather wary of it. yet it is not so bad. quite carbonated and it does have a bit of that icky sacchrin taste, but it is not overpowering as it is in most saccharin sweetened drinks. i don’t think the calorie count is all that much less than in a regular soda, but perhaps. it is hard to figure out with this nutty English nutrition information. so this does taste a little fruity, but not too much. it is ok, but not great. it is more that i expected it to be much worse that i am not saying awful things. well, there is nothing really awful to say about it. it is not stereotypical “root beer” but oh well, the Brits will survive i am sure.
