mmmm, a red birch beer! and actually it is good! not generic at all. in fact it tastes berry-ish. strawberry I would say. weird. but it does work, sort of. i hate strawberry soda so i am surprised that i like this at all. it is more in the aftertaste that the strawberry comes out and then just for a moment, very quick-like. besides that it is very sweet, has a slight wintergreen zing and tastes good. the sweetness level may in fact be too high though for me, which is quite an acheivement.

a couple of days after I reviewed the diet version of this above quite some time ago, i got a couple of emails from people asking why i reviewed just the diet when the regular, full of calories version is so good. i told them that that was what Dr Wayne had sent me and if they would be so kind as to send another variety i would be happy to pay for the costs and postage and all. no one ever replied. so i was happy when i recently saw a Weis Supermarket for myself and was able to get the full line of their sodas. this one is indeed quite tasty. i do enjoy the white birch beer quite a bit. i don’t know if it is because white birch beer is a unique flavor and you don’t find it that much but i just enjoy it more in general than other flavors, even if it is generic and store brand. but yeh, this has the wintergreen kick, is quite refreshing and crisp. good stuff.

ah yeh, more store brand root beer! hhhmm, actually it is different. very carbonated which seems to cover the actual taste. yet that actual taste seems to be very small. which i suppose, is better than it being a bad taste which is overwhelming. or a bad taste in general. i mean, this tastes fine, what there is of it to taste. i would have a hard time even knowing this was root beer if i did not read the can. i suppose that means it fails as a generic root beer and pretty much as a beverage on the whole, at least for me who does not like carbonated tasteless stuff. oh well.
Ingredients:carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, sodium benzoate (preservative), citric acid, gum arabic, natural and artificial flavors

Mt Tom Beverage Co Rollie’s Root Beer

i had been planning on trying to obtain some of this stuff next time i went up to Massachusetts, but then my friend Mile brought me a bottle of it. this is quite interesting i must say. spicy in the way a ginger beer is spicy. in fact i would probably guess it was a ginger beer if this were a blind taste test. which is not to say it is bad at all. just actually different than any other root beer i have had. and that is saying something when i have had 285 other root beer type beverages! it is kind of refreshing actually. i meant that in the drink sort of way in that it is sort of light but with a solid taste, but it also applies in the mental way of it being refreshing to find something different. the closest thing I can recall tasting similiar is Shotz. i can’t really taste the maple syrup but there is a little bit of a honey taste and a hint of cane sugar kick. a great root beer. good job Mt Tom Beverage Co / Papercity Brewery!
