NFT: Not Your Father's Root Beer

Tittle 9 20 64 : 6/28/2015 10:32 am

Taste's just like Root Beer with a 5.9 alcohol content. I don't drink soda but always liked the taste of Root Beer. It isn't bad but a little too sweet for me. Anyone else ever try it?

Tastes like root beer with a shot of Kahlua maybe? Way to sweet for my taste. I didn't even finish it.

Yea Jon,

I was really disappointed too

The guy at the beer store really sold me on it. I should have stuck with a local beer like I originally wanted to.

Root beer flavored corn syrup.

Although I've heard that the 10% ABV version is a lot better.

I'll stick with my Carton, Other Half and Single Cut DIPA's for now though.

It was very artificial tasting

It was $11 per six pack in MN. Store owner said it is good stuff

Or, you can just buy regular root beer and mix it with gin.

I know...the first time I heard that I thought it was nuts...then I tried it. To my surprise, I loved it.

Tried this a couple of weeks ago.

If they could tone down

Tittle 9 20 64 : 6/28/2015 1:19 pm : link

The sweetness it would be much better. It has a bitter aftertaste which I liked.

Had if a bunch

If u get the version at a bar its 10%. Store bought bottles if 5.9

We sell it at the bar I run

It is horrible. Far too sweet. Like someone else said. Root Beer Flavored corn syrup is spot on.

A good mixture that was recommend to me was a nice cold bottle of IBC Cream Soda with a shot of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey. It's not too sweet and has a nice kick to it.
