Tommyknocker Root Beer - Bottled under
license from the Tommyknocker Brewery Vancol Industries,
Denver CO 80229 1 800 422-6112

Clean root beer taste with a medium to strong maple finish.
Although it contains cheery, mountain maple valerian root,
fenugreek, St. John's Wort, melissa, birch, licorice root and
hops extract its the Vermont maple that distinguishes this
root beer.

Virgils Root Beer - Distributed by the Original
Beverage Co. Microbrewed.
Enough awards to stuff a horse. Virgils has the perfect blend of
ingrediants. Blended so they dance like an angel on the
tip of your tongue. You can taste every individual flavor in a
mild plessant way. Included are: anise, licorice, bourbon vanilla,
cinnamon, clove, wintergreen, sweet birch, molasses, nutmeg,
pimento berry, balsam oil and oil os cassia. One taste of this
litterally stopped me in my tracks.

Virgils Special Edition Bavarian
Nutmeg Root Beer
-
For the Root Beer purist.Perhaps the most expensive
root beer brewed today. Sold in a 16 ounce bottle with
porceline stopper. Same taste as the domestic version
but just a notch better. The water used is from a pure
source in Bavaria. Don't squabble over the five dollar
price tag - You only need to buy it once in your life.
Root-Beer Riot
X-Drink
This is an energy drink flavored like root-beer, at least that is the claim. A dank medicinal smell lept from the bottle upon opening. The color was too light to be taken seriously as a root-beer as well as a lack of head. The initial taste was, of all things, chalky with a cherry finish. It is loaded with energy enhancement ingredients which account for the mecinal taste. This is an energy drink not a root-beer, so perhaps I am out of my league with any further comments.
Zesto Root-Beer
Zesto Corporation Novaliches,
Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines

After popping open the can, the distinct smell of a medicine cabinet dipped in licorice filled the room. The taste was more of a cola with root-beer hints. This dark colored brews head disapeared quickly. An aquaintence noted this is what they serve in the Philippines, by pouring it into a bag and popping in a straw, but saving the can so as to collect the deposit. A wise choice. Not for the American palette.
