Review of Souix City Birch Beer



Not sure what real birch beer tastes like. I was told not like this. It reminds me of those heart shaped candies with the funny sayings on them. 7 out of 10.

Review of Jolt Cola



This one needs no introduction. The original energy drink. 5 out of 10.

Review of Green River



I was looking forward to finding this one since it had been some time. Nice lime flavor but it's HFCS sweet. 6 out of 10

Review of NuGrape



"A flavor you can't forget" from Waco, Texas. Tastes like grape soda. HFCS. 6 out of 10.

Review of Faygo Rock & Rye



I didn't feel like I could neglect this brand just based on it's musical association. Rock and Rye is cola mixed with cream soda, if your into that sort of thing. 5 out of 10.

Review of Drizzle Kola Champagne



What the hell is this stuff? Creamy and fruity I think. 6 out of 10

Review of Waialua Root Beer



Islanders! They just can't make a soda. 3 out of 10.

Review of Dad's Creamy Orange



Just like an Orange-sicle, but a liquid. This one was a stubbie too! 7 out of 10.

NO!



Sorry this is not going anywhere near my mouth. n/a out of 10.

Review of A J Stephans Ginger Beer



"That's going to be spicy!" -fellow co-worker and soda aficionado. He was right! Jamaican style means this ain't no Canada Dry. Good bubbles too! Nice sweetness. 8 out of 10.

Review of Triple XXX Root Beer



BAD ASS ROOT BEER! 8 out of 10.

Review of Souix City Root Beer



Pretty damn good. Nice balance between sweetness and 'root' with a bit of bubbles. 6.5 out of 10.

Review of A J Stephans Cream Soda



Love the bubbles. Nice sweetness. Smooth. 7 our of 10.

Review of Capt'n Eli's Root Beer



I have dogged this company before. Same story. 5 out of 10.

Review of Dad's Root Beer



Well...it's better then the can. Real sugar, fake flavor that is very light. 5 out of 10.

Review of Columbia Soda Works sarsaparilla



Local stuff. Lot's of herby anise flavor but way too sweet due to the HFCS. 6 out of 10.

Review of Mason's root beer



If only this was free(j/k). Love the bottle. Good sweetness. Not bad in the "root" flavor area either. 6.5 out of 10.

Review of Barrel Brothers root beer



WHAT THE HELL IS YUCCA? Not terrible in the herb department but the sweet comes from HFCS. All in all it's just not that great. 5 out of 10.

Review of Abita root beer



Well it's swamp soda. They used the right sugar but they used fake root beer flavor. I don't get it. Why go to the trouble of using real sugar if your not going to brew actual root beer. 4 out of 10.

Review of Fitz's root beer



Rad name. I mean you could literally throw Fitzs'! Good herb flavor but the HFCS sweetness is not a good complement. 5 out of 10.

Two great tastes that taste great together

Review of Olde Rhode Island Molasses Root Beer




Wow. This has some serious flavor. Just the complexity of the sweetness rocks. Not bubbly due to it being made with spring water but I will look past that this time because this was some darn good stuff. Tell you the truth, I cried a little. 8.5 out of 10.

Review of Frostie Root Beer



They did it to me. The all might Frostie Root Beer company let me down. Maybe I should have tried the root beer first; that is part of the company's name. But I didn't and I feel in love with the other flavors. Is it that the bar was set too high that this root brew fell flat. No I think it was the HFCS and chemical flavors that did it. Not that I normally don't like those type of root beer. Maybe they just need to put more of them in there. 4 out of 10. sorry Frostie

$2 @ the Goodwill



I should have got this when I was there but it had mold growing in it and it wasn't like it was that old really. I do think it's funny it was next to vases and house wears.
