Zota Green Tea Soda Root Beer

ah, another organic soda! with no corn syrup! rad indeed. you can taste the difference for sure, the cane sugar taste is distinct. and as i rather like that taste, it is nice indeed. the green tea aspect is also there and adds a different taste to the soda, also not in a bad way at all. it kind of makes it taste almost like a root beer iced tea. usually i think the more natural kind of root beers do not come off well, although i very much want them to, but this one really does live up to my expectations. i would not quite say it taste that much like traditional root beer, but the flavor is there enough to be recognizable as such. kind of an herbal taste going on with pretty light carbonation. nice. i wish i knew where i got this so i could get more. oh well, i am sure i will see it again sometime.

Maine Root. Organic Sarsaparilla

this soda also has only the three ingredients that are listed on the root beer label. their website claims that they tone down the clove so that the wintergreen taste can come through more. i can see that somewhat but it is not a strong wintergreen at all. plus i would think if you are going for having a wintergreen tasting beverage you would call it a birch beer. oh well, to each their own. I would say i may even enjoy this more that the root beer although it does have a similar taste, rather simple and not too strong at all. the cane sugar definitely comes through again too. i hope they get some distribution in NJ because this is a very good soda!

Baumeister Root Beer

i like this soda. but there is something stopping it from being in that upper sphere of root beers. i mean, the packaging is kind of lame, but besides that, maybe it is a little watery or a bit of a lack of carbonation. yeh, both of those things are faults and accurate ones at that! don’t get me wrong, it is tasty, but just not amazing. kind of creamy, kind of sweet, just not enough of anything i guess.
Ingredients:carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, natural and artificial flavors, citric acid and sodium benzoate (preservative)

Bennett’s Big Bear Root Beer

i don’t think i have ever seen a soda with “root beer extract” as an ingredient. wacky. it also has molasses, which you can actually taste quite well. that is good as i am a fan of molasses, it really should be in more food stuffs. it gives this brew a hearty sort of taste. i am rather fond of it i must admit, it is not your run of the mill root beer. i hear it is even better as a float but i just have this one bottle and not enough left to float it up! maybe i will order some more though one day.
Ingredients:filtered water, high fructose corn syrup, root beer extract, molasses, sodium benzoate
