Fitz’s Diet Premium Micro-Brewed Root Beer

if it were not for that awful aftertaste, this would be ok. i seem to be saying a similar thing for many of the diet sodas i have reviewed lately (can you tell i have been putting off buying and reviewing these things? still have a few to go for bear with me.) so yeh, that metallic, weird aftertaste just ruins it for me. kind of creamy and it even tastes remotely like root beer! but it still is diet and you can tell. sadly.
Ingredients:carbonated water, aspartame, caramel color, vanillin, natural flavors, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate (preservative), and citric acid

Kroger’s Big K Root Beer

eh, store brand generic root beer, what else can i say about it that has not been said? i think i may give up on reviewing these. they all taste about the same and probably are actually made by the same people somewhere. and with Kroger’s being this massive monolith, this is probably the same root beer that would be at Fred Meyer’s, Fry’s, Dillion, Smith’s and many others. wacky indeed. so yeh, it tastes like you would expect it to taste. root beer as served at barbeques across the heartland of america every summer. good, but not advancing the root beer cause anywhere.

Gray’s Great American Diet Root Beer

ok, so i have a lot of diet root beers to go through, live with it! hey wait, this is diet?! well, the aftertaste is there a little but otherwise this is pretty regular tasting. even more so than the Sprecher Lo-Cal Root Beer from yesterday. which does not mean it is in fact good or even tastes much like root beer, but it is decent. for diabetics and those on a diet. i would still probably go for the Diet Saranac if i was on a diet, but who really knows, some people may prefer this one. i don’t quite see how. maybe if i had it with a slice of pizza it would taste more root beer-like or something. ok, now that it is not as cold i can kind of taste something. a little creamines, a little bitterness, a little zing. i don’t know. not terrible, but i’d prefer the real stuff.
Ingredients:carbonated water, caramel coloring, citric acid, aspertame 6 Nutrasweet brand, artificial and natural flavorings, and sodium benzoate

Victory Super Markets Root Beer

crikey, i have to write down where i get stuff. or get a better memory. i really don’t know where this came from. somewhere in Massachusetts is for sure. and it is actually rather good. maybe the best generic/store brand i have had. which does not mean it is amazing or comparable to the great bottled kinds, there is still that slight metallic taste to it for me. which might go away if i put it in a glass i suppose. very well carbonated, not too sweet but definitely sweet enough. perhaps it is just fresher than the usual store soda so the aluminum has not leeched in too much.
