it has been almost a decade since I had any of the College Club offerings. I thought at the time that I had had this diet version as well, but when I saw it again and was checking more extensively whether I had actually reviewed things or recipes had changed or whatever I found out I had never actually had this one. which is a marvelous thing. ok, well, maybe “marvelous” is the wrong word for a diet root beer but any new thing to review is a thing that makes me happy. and who knows, this could be one of those rare tasty diet sodas. speaking of which, all of these “zero” sodas, like “coke zero” and “sprite zero” and so on are actually diet drinks that are tasty which root beer makers could take notes from. yes, I know there is “mug zero” and I will get to that review in the next few months so I mean the small makers should do the same sort of deal.
this is not terrible. I can tell it is diet, it has that metallic taste of aspertame. nonetheless it is not as totally upfront as it is with some other diet sodas. it even tastes like root beer, which is a major plus. as I drink more I feel like the metallic flavor is slowly increasing. the root beer taste is pretty standard, just straight forward and that’s ok. if I were to have to drink diet sodas forever I could tolerate this one although it does not at all stack up to even a kind of bad sugared version. I am getting a headache which may or may not be related to drinking this. hopefully no connection though.
