Caruso's Legacy Root Beer - 7.5 - USA

Caruso's Legacy Robusto Root Beer - 7.5
Delicious rootbeer purchased at the Plaza Deli here in Santa Barbara.  While it was delicious, with a name like this, one would expect to read a quick story on the side of its creators.  None exists on the label.  A good drink, though!

Double Cola - 7.5

A genuinely good soda!

Double Measure - Double Pleasure.  I'm not sure what that means, but it's on the label.  I only measured once, but it looks like a standard 12oz bottle.  A good cola taste with cane sugar, which is what I like.

Guarana Antarctica - 7.5

Guarana Antarctica : Fantastic soda if you can find it.  I bought it from a Brazilian food vendor in the Culver City Farmers Market.  A clear soda with a nice fruity taste.  Quite the caffeine kick!

Bawls G33kB33r - 7.5

Bawls G33kB33r: Bawls GeekBeer (G33kB33r) does it right!  First, it combines great root beer flavor with an extra kick of caffine.  I really like the bumpy bottle - original!  Hats off to ThinkGeek where I purchased a case:  http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/drinks/2818/

Verrill Farm Black Cherry

Verrill Farm Black Cherry : 11/15/2005: One of the best Black Cherry drinks I've had yet. Thanks to Seth Avakian for bringing this drink from Massachusetts! A nice Black Cherry taste without overdoing it or making it too sweet.

Mike Shinn Rating: 7.5 Average User Rating: 6 Lindsay Rating: 6     - One of the best black cherry sodas I've had, great flavor to begin with...but there is a bit of a medicine after taste.

Trader Joes Organic Root Beer

Trader Joes Organic Root Beer : 3/12/2003: This root beer is pretty darn good! It comes in a brown 33.8 oz bottle in an unusual dumbell shape. You can tell that it is organic just because it doesn't leave you with a carmel-syrup taste, but it does its job. I'd give it 7 and a half thumbs up. Not bad.

Mike Shinn Rating: 7.5 Average User Rating: 8.5 Astrid H. Nelson Rating: 8     - I like this organic version very much, next in line to Henry Weinhard's. Aimee Rating: 9     - excellent, nice bold flavor

Tommyknocker Rootbeer

Tommyknocker Rootbeer : 5/31/2003: Not bad at all. I'd give it seven and a half thumbs up. This is the best of the tommyknockers - not too bland. It has a good root taste but without the aftertaste. Not too watered down also.

Tommyknocker Almond Crème

Tommyknocker Almond Crème : 5/19/2003: I've never had an almond crème before, and it's good! I'd give it seven and a half thumbs up. It goes down very smooth, isn't too strong or too light. Naturally, it has an almond taste to it. Very nice.

Mike Shinn Rating: 7.5 Average User Rating: 8 Steve L. Rating: 8     - very good almond taste (somewhat intense but very enjoyable if you like almonds). Not too sweet and goes down smoothly.

Taisun Pearl Pinapple

Taisun Pearl Pinapple : 9/4/2004: Great! Nice pinapple taste and something a little more - basil seed. Be sure to pour this soda out into a clear glass to have the full effect. The seeds are really neat. Almost like a boba drink. Not bad at all. Neat pull top with a message inside the pull - perhaps the brand name?

Mike Shinn Rating: 7.5 Average User Rating: 6 Cindy Yeh Lee Rating: 6     - It is decent, not too sweet. It takes awhile to get used to the pearls.

Sea Dog Rootbeer

Sea Dog Rootbeer : 7/11/2005: A tasty, frothy brew. Not too sweet - well done! Could be a bit more bold. A very nice rootbeer. Awesome dog picture on the label.  

Root 66 Orange Crème

Root 66 Orange Crème : 3/2/2004: Fantastic! It has the great taste of Sprecher's Orange, but without the sugary aftertaste. It also has a little more bite and carbonation. A great combination. 7.5 thumbs up.

Milligans Island Rootbeer

Milligans Island Rootbeer : 4/25/2004: Delicious! A well brewed root beer. It's a little sweeter than usual - perhaps the cane sugar. Well done! 7 and a half thumbs up!

Jackson Hole High Mountain Huckleberry

Jackson Hole High Mountain Huckleberry : 11/15/2005: The delicious taste of huckleberry in a soda. Something like a boysen berry, if you've never had huckleberry. Very well done, not too sweet, not too sour, not over done. Highly recommended if you're looking for something different!

Hanks Root Beer

Hanks Root Beer : 5/23/2003: This was an excellent rootbeer. It has a nice bite and a nice flavor, but not too much. It does leave a slight aftertaste, however. 7 and a hlaf thumbs up!  

Grays Raspberry Cream

Grays Raspberry Cream : 3/17/2006: Great raspberry taste - not too strong but definitely not too light. This soda is packed full of flavor. Recommended as a stand-alone because it may overwhelm whatever you're eating. Good soda!

Grays Orange Crème

Grays Orange Crème : 1/11/2006: A nice, pleasant Orange Cream soda. It doesn't have a strong tang or a gimick, but it is refreshing and smooth.

ClubOrange

ClubOrange : 12/31/2005: Thank you to Gayle Chatham for bringing this soda all the way from Ireland! This soda has a bright exterior and a slightly bitter flavor. It has a stronger, thicker taste than American orange sodas. It has real orange bits like Orangina. Not bad at all!

Capt'n Elis Rootbeer

Capt'n Elis Rootbeer : 2/5/2006: A rich, bold taste from this root beer. It's almost a sarsaparilla. A good choice if looking for a good root beer. Brewed in Portland, Maine.

Mike Shinn Rating: 7.5 Average User Rating: 9 billy Rating: 9 - I love this soda. It is really one of the best root beers I have had in a while.

Camlica

Camlica : 11/24/2007: This Turkish soda is great! I'm not usually into lemon lime sodas but this one is fantastic! Not too sweet, not too much flavoring, not too much carbonation. Definitely a good soda!

Britvic 55

Britvic 55 : 3/14/2006: Great presentation on this sparkling orange drink from Ireland. It has an orange foil covering the top - very fancy. You can tell that it's 55% juice. It's like a concentrated orangina. Really, I just prefer regular orangina, but this isn't bad.
