I had the 19.5% abv in Colorado a few years ago. It's remarkably good with little alcohol taste. Three of them and I was feeling pretty good.

I went to a restaurant in Louisville last month that had this concoction on the menu, but they were out of Abita so I didn't get to try it. I recreated it at home today and it was... a unique flavor... Can't say I recommend it but I did finish it. Is this a thing or just a wild one-off by that restaurant?

I guess if you’re a person who’s always thought, “I wish more things tasted like toothpaste” then this is probably one of the few treats available to you—aside from the giant aisle of toothpastes you could be buying and eating—but as a normal person I’m surprised this exists at all.

left most bottle was a bottle i got yesterday and the other 3 i got few yesrs before. all individual, but they’ve recent shrunk them down apparently.

So I have tried almost all types of rootbeer but this was a first

I’m a big fan of the regular A&W rootbeer but this specific glass type with “natural cane sugar” just tastes weird like almost fake sugar taste

Anyone else think this stuff’s crap?

Like it's actually quite pleasent as a non sugary rootbeer and imo better than 90% of diet rootbeers out there. Def not the greatest but it's perfectly fine. I thought it was gonna be disgusting based on some of y'all's reactions.

I was expecting better, but the flavors were muted, and while it technically was carbonated, it didn't really have the fizz I think a good root beer should have. 4.5/10

Not arguing with anyon

I still think Boylans is the best root beer out there.

… different.

It’s praised as THE best by many on here… and at one point maybe it was… it’s flat AF and the flavor is just meh… just a heads up for those who haven’t tried it… don’t be surprised when you do try it and find yourself really disappointed… tho everyone is entitled to their opinions.. if it isn’t hardly carbonated is it even soda?!?

I used to be a part of this club at The Root Beer Store... turns out they are doing a grand reopening and giving away three free months of root beers. If you do a year! I picked mine up in store and ditched the entire shipping cost too. You can claim 3 months of free root beers just on their site...loveeee this place!

Wife brought this home from Aldi’s for me to try since the kids have taken a liking to root beer. WIN!, and it just tastes weird. Looked at the ingredients and it has apple juice concentrate.

If only I wanted to hack up a lung, then I would have snagged one.

Hi English is cumbersome for me. Had a problem today. Buddy from home country came to visit me in America and I was showing him the ropes and the things us Americanas like. He has never had an RBF cuz Montenegrins don’t mess with that. I made him Barq’s + oatly vanilla ice cream or something, but when I sloples it into the RB, it started fizzing and exploded into this ultra geyser of RBF fluids. It got all over my buddy’s barrel chest and I felt so bad so I wept and begged him to hit me. After he hit me I felt a lot worse and anger at him and struck him over and over and over again and essentially it turned into a total brawl, he gave me a kitten scratch on the tip of my nose and I whipped him with a USB-C cable with the block. Why did this happen? I make this all the time never happened. Should I return him?

A simple tier list that I made a while ago. I made it for myself so it’s not that detailed and some might not even be root beer

I'm curious if there are others like me. I love root beer. I enjoy savoring really good stuff. The cheap stuff is fine on a hot day. My quirk is I HATE root beer floats. Root beer and vanilla ice cream are great separately but together it's one of the most terible creations on the planet. I feel the same way about orange creamsilcle.

Found it at a pick and save, had a very strong ginger flavor but not a lot of the burn you tend to get with most ginger drinks, and it wasn’t too sweet, tasted very natural.

10/10 would recommend, especially if you have an upset stomach

I wonder why they they go all in on certain ingredients, then skimp out and go artificial in others. I still haven't had a chance to try either, but am very excited to. I just can't help but wonder how much better they could be with all natural ingredients.
