But I won't be talking about any of those; sorry for the disappointment....... Hello again and welcome to my root beer adventures; I know that it has been a long time between blogs, but I've been busy trying to gain muscle, and watch what I eat; that includes the occasional root beer treat...But onward to the adventures...
Bundaberg Australian Root Beer.....I didn't really care for it because it tasted too medicinal and that was a disappointment because I was hoping to like it. It is made from a brew of real sarsaparilla root, licorice root, vanilla beans, and molasses....now, doesn't that sound good?....Well, if someone else tries it and likes it they should get back to me and let me know how good it really was, because like I said, I was unhappy with it. They can't all be pleasant to my discerning palate. For more information on this root beer go to www.bundaberg.com
Olde Rhode Island Molasses Root Beer; bought this while visiting Old Town San Diego last summer, and it was pretty good. It had a sweet taste and was different; might have been the molasses or the artesian spring water :) For more information, search for www.realsoda.com
Triple XXX Root Beer; very good thirst quenching root beer, nothing special; Just carbonated water, caramel color, real cane sugar, and citric acid and natural/artificial flavors... for more info about Triple XXX, click onto,http://www.triplexxxrootbeer.com and for a restaurant in the Pacific NW, click onto http://triplexrootbeer.com
Tower Root Beer, all the way from Boston, MA, and into my hand; here's what I had to say: the same comment as the Triple XXX, but the label is nice and the bottle is short and stout. For more info on Tower Root Beer, go to http://www.towerrootbeer.com
Sprecher Fire Brewed Root Beer; how does one fire brew root beer? I guess one would have to look up the word brew (as in to brew) and then take the word fire and come up with your own definition, because that is interesting. For one thing, it had a very musky flavor to its taste; as if it were left to ferment a little bit. Some of the ingredients were WI Raw honey, Glucose Syrup (that's a new ingredient to me) Malto-Dextrin, Quillaia/Yucca Extract (ingredient found in many root beers that I've drunk and have written about), Vanilla, and Sodium Chloride (Salt; also a new one). So, an excellent root beer choice and I would drink it again, fresh, and see if I could a different taste out of it.

Drink White Rose Root Beer it says on the label; Definitely Better, Highland Park's Own, Los Angeles, Cal. Pretty good root beer, made with pure cane sugar and it is caffeine free. Simple ingredients for a basic root beer; filtered carbonated water, pure cane sugar, natural and artificial flavor, citric acid and caramel color...For more information, go to http://www.sodapopstop.com, which is where you can sample and purchase some of my favorites or not so favorable drinks.
The last root beer that I sampled on this adventure allows you to publish your own picture on the label and that root beer is Jones Root Beer, founded by The Jones Family of Seattle, WA. Pretty simple root beer, with the basic root beer formula of water, natural/artificial flavors, cane sugar, and preservatives. Very simple, but the fact that you are allowed to brand your own bottles of root beer is cool. For more info go to http://www.jonessoda.com
