In 1999 caffeine was removed as one of the ingredients,
making this a true rooot beer. However this was diapointing
to some drinkers who had come to rely on the boost.
It has a complex taste with a light wintergreen finish.

finish. Flavors are light and crisp.
Sarsi Sarsaparilla - A Quality Product of
Cosmos Botteling Corporation.
This product is said to be imported from the
Philipines. That's what I was told in the Asian market
I picked it up at. The licorice flavor dominates and
annihilates all other flavors. I could not finish the
twelve ounce can. My three year old son,however, loved it.
Sioux City Sarsaparilla - Distributed
by White Rock Prod. Corp.CT 800 969-ROCK .
New Label helps to distinguish it from I.B.C. The
label states "The granddaddy of all root beers." A
great sales gimmick, but what does it mean? Tastes
like root beer. And that's a good thing.
Stewart's Root Beer Bottled under the
Authority of the Cable Car Corp. Denver
Colorado.
This is root beer by defintion. Tastes like fountain
root beer in a bottle. No funny after taste - just a
straight shooter. Dependable like an old pair of
sneakers.

Sparky's Fresh Draft Root Beer
 Knox Brewing. Pacific Grove Ca 93950
www.sparkysrootbeer.com.
At first sip the full body of this rich rootbeer is
recognized. It is enjoyably thick without being
uncomfortably heavy. Then the flavors begin. First
notice is the licorice taste, but before it gets too heavy
it finishes with a refreshing wintergreen taste. Being
brewed with honey and pure cane sugar will attract the
purists. It poured with a medium to thick head. But
only after it had been opened with a bottle opener, no
twist-offs here. The 22 oz. bottle is enough to share
with a friend, and that is something you will be
pleased to do.
Thomas Kemper Root Beer - Proudly
Brewed in Small Batches by the Thomas Kemper
Co. Seattle WA www.tksoda.com
This is the root beer by which all other root beers are
judged. It is authentic. The Washington honey keeps
it smooth and easy drinking. You almost miss the
maple finish if you don't look for it. Includes: sassafras
bark extract and pure vanilla extract. Any restaurant
worth it's salt serves Thomas Kemper.
