Trader Joe's Vintage Root Beer is a bit weak when it comes to flavor. When you have cane sugar on your side, why not totally be awesome? Instead, this is a passively-flavored root beer drink, despite having an ingredient list with recognizable items such as wintergreen birch, anise, and sassafras. Clean, but uneventful.

If you'd like an unexpected, yet flavorly-refreshing twist on the classic root beer model, RootJack is definitely a beverage to investigate. It's smooth, yet bold and edgy. I think you'll be surprised by what you taste! Plus, it helps prevent scurvy; how can you go wrong?

Hansen's Natural Creamy Root Beer Soda smells and tastes like… well, root beer! Nothing too crazy or bold. It was much better than some other root beer flavors we've tasted, such as Route Beer 66, but not quite as good as other cane sugar-sweetened versions we've had, such as Boylan Bottleworks Root Beer. If you need 160 calories of root beer goodness that's sweetened with something other than high fructose corn syrup, give Hansen's a shot!

Take the flavor experience of a root beer float and bottle it. That's what A&W Float soda attempts to pull off. It's an interesting innovation idea… and one that comes close, but misses. While it does use sugar and skim milk, the resulting taste is so artificial that you shouldn't even bother. Great idea, horrible execution.

Much like Boylan Bottleworks Black Cherry and Boylan Bottleworks Ginger Ale, is a solid drink sweetened with pure cane sugar. No bells and whistles. Just a simple, clean, and smooth root beer taste.

This specialty root beer was pretty bland. Noted the soda review, "beyond the nifty bottle and bad pun on the Route 66 name, this root beer isn't much to write home about… or in this case, drive home about."
