Diet Stewart’s

6/10. Somehow doesn’t lose any of the charm of the original Stewart’s despite losing most of the calories. That said; it’s still Stewart’s, and Stewart’s is mid.

Stewart’s

6/10. Stewart’s is fine. I’ll buy it when the store is out of IBC, but it’s never my first choice. Or my second.

Sprecher Maple Root Beer

10/10. The superior Sprecher. Maple flavor is sublime. It’s sweet but not overly so. I’ll definitely be buying this one again.

Sprecher Fire Brewed Root Beer

7/10 Enjoyable flavor. Mild bite. The consensus among root beer lovers is that Sprecher is top-tier; however, based on that reputation I found it underwhelming. It’s a good drink for sure, but it doesn’t rise above the rest.

Sioux City Sarsaparilla

8/10 If you only get one of the Cracker Barrel options, make it this one. Very strong flavor. Called Sioux City but made in New York?

Oak Creek Blonde

3/10. Very light flavor. Brown sugar aftertaste is interesting. Reminds me of Zevia, but with actual calories.

Northwoods Espresso Root Beer

5/10. Good flavor but not my jam. Great bite. Strong espresso aftertaste.

Northwoods Soda (Formerly Wild Bill’s)

10/10 Michigan’s best. Great root beer flavor. Mild bite that isn’t overpowering.

Jones Soda

6/10. Pretty good flavor, but some quality control issues make me hesitant. I’ve had a couple of really nasty bottles of this.

Blind Taste #Review!

Of the big three #RootBeer, #ZeroSugarMug takes the gold! While all three had the aspartame taste, Zero Sugar Mug set itself just a bit above the rest. #A&WZeroSugar was a tad too syrupy for me, and the #BarqsZeroSugsr had a hollow taste.

Mug 7/10
A&W 6/10
Barq’s 5/10

Zero Sugar Shasta

6/10. Muted flavor, albeit tasty. Doesn’t have that aspartame aftertaste that seems to plague diet sodas. Solid choice for those on a budget.

9/10. Solid choice. Very strong bite that gives it a crisp taste.

Hank’s Gourmet

8/10 Philadelphia’s finest. A favorite amongst root beer lovers and for good reason. Hank’s has a smooth classic root beer flavor. Pick some up.

Zevia Creamy Root Beer

7/10. A partner to Zevia’s Ginger Root Beer, this one has all the root beer taste with none of the bite. Combine that with a whopping 0 calories, and you’ll find yourself reaching for this one again and again.

Olipop Classic Root Beer

1/10. I really need people to stop adding apple to their #RootBeer. It never tastes good. #Olipop has an initial root beer taste, which is immediately overwhelmed with acidic apple flavor. A lingering aftertaste of vanilla combines for a uniquely awful drink. DNF.

Alive

1/10 Root beer-flavored ancient mushroom elixir with apple cider vinegar. Do I need to describe the taste, or will that suffice?

It was sour. Sour root beer. Did. Not. Finish.

6/10 Another made in Michigan. Watered down flavor, but nevertheless pleasant.

7/10. Not a lot of bite for a root beer with “dog” in the name. Vanilla aftertaste similar to Virgil’s.

Death Valley Root Beer

3/10 A strong cinnamon taste reminiscent of an Atomic Fireball. Lacking in any actual root beer flavor.

Red Ribbon Home Brewed Style Root Beer

1/10 Home Brewed Style in that most people who try home brewing suck at it and have no idea what they’re doing. This one was a DNF.

Americana Root Beer

6/10. Starts with a moderate caramel taste that fades into classic root beer flavor. Although I’m generally not a fan of strong caramel taste, this is one of the better caramel root beers I’ve had.
