r/rootbeer

It’s not a special brand, hell, it’s not even cold. But at the end of a 17 hour day on my birthday, it’s the last hurrah! Prost!

Jolt is another energy drink root beer that taste exactly the way I want it to from the very first sip. This is my second time having it. The Ryse Root Beer Float I had just recently for the third time is definitely another one. No time taken to be perplexed as to if this is a really good one like I needed to think about the Ghost A&W which was adequate but a step below these two. I grabbed this can at either the Cincinnati or Fairfield, OH location of Jungle Jim’s International Market.

Just my usual..

Started hand writing little reviews as I tried new root beers over the last couple of months. 22 filled the book (2 pages per).

Was a lot of fun. Will post my rankings in the replies.

Has anyone tried this? Visiting Asheville NC and I’ve never seen this anywhere else on the east coast. If you like licorice forward root beer you would enjoy this. It’s very good

$3

Let’s try out this Yes Honey Root Beer. Well I’m disappointed I figured it was going to be rich and sweet, but it’s like a carbonated honey water. Maybe they forgot the root beer flavor. Oh well. I got it https://newbees.buzz/search?q=root+beer&options%5Bprefix%5D=last

I find the sugar free root beers i have tried leave a lot to be desired, far worse than other sugar free sodas.

I think this is my favorite so far. That does'nt mean its great (i would take a shasta root beer over this on flavor alone).

The best thing i can say for it is its really smooth tasting. The flavor itself is too mild for my taste. It also has too little carbonation. But its the first one i will drink completely, so thats something.

I have heard the A&W sugar free is good but i cannot drink it. I have a pretty strong Aspartame allergy.

Really good flavor. Creamy with a spicy clove finish. Glad I grabbed 2 bottles!

River City is a great one that I believe practically everyone enjoys. Balanced and smooth. Another one from either the Cincinnati or Fairfield, OH location of Jungle Jim’s International Market.

I passed through Dublin earlier this year but it was Sunday so I couldn't get some while there but I got this from Ace Hardware a few days ago.

To me, it has a wintergreen forward taste. It is crisp with a bit of a bite. I typically like the smooth, sweet root beers like 1919 or A&W but this is really good.
