i also got this soda in that mixed case i spoke of above. actually when i arrived at the factory and went in the store, no one came out, so i just assumed i could do what i did, that is make my own order up. turned out i could and they were happy i did. this soda also has a more subtle taste. but it works for a birch beer much more to me. there seems to be a pretty prominent wintergreen taste here. it makes for an almost medicinal flavor upon first sip or if you put it down for a minute and let your palette clear. this is more than fine with me as i very much love wintergreen as a flavor. this is definitely one of the best white birches i have ever had. it is refreshing and smooth but with that minty kick that makes me enjoy a white birch so much. solid carbonation that last through the whole bottle too.

so i knew i was going to boston to visit some friends and i had heard about this soda bottling plant in conneticutt, pretty much on the way, so i planned my route so i could stop by and check it out. and stop by i did! indeed. it was pretty rad in fact, just in the middle of a pretty residential neighborhood, syrup making on one side of the road, bottling on the other. i picked up an empty box and filled it with various sodas. that included, of course, this root beer. it is good but not spectacular though. i think it needs a little more flavor. what is there is very good, sweet, kind of carmel-ish. but it just seems a tad watery for my tastes. not to say that i would not enjoy it on a warm day or with a slice of shoofly pie or something.

yeah, this is definitely different from the Premium. not as good either. just kind of bland, root beer. it has a slightly unusual taste, sort of a bitter thing that i don’t like much. not the worst soda ever or even bad really, just mediocre and not the best. yet at 5/$1 or whatever, i can’t expect much. i would suggest that if you live near a Winn-Dixie that you splurge and get the premium version of the generic soda.

ok, so i got this and Chek root beer at the Winn-Dixie store in Louisville (which also had caffeine free Mountain Dew hooray!!) which somewhat shocked me. i mean, TWO kinds of generic root beer in one store?! i did not realize they were distributed by the same company until just now in fact. strange. i guess this is supposed to be the better one, being ‘Premium’ and all. so yeh. this is decent. a little too sweet for me, but still good. a little different from the normal generic root beer, it has a bit of a kick actually. a decent soda to have with a pizza or something but not really a soda i would sit and savor.
