Welcome to Alex's Root Beer Taste Test blog!

Back in 2009, I tried a bunch of different root beers and wrote down my thoughts.  I came across my notes  recently and figured I should just type them up and put them online. For whom? Probably just me.

I began each review by writing down its container (glass, plastic, can), and its color, foaminess, and smell upon pour.

Then for each root beer, I evaluated it on bitterness, spiciness, flavor, and sweetness on a scale from 1-5, 5 being strong. I evaluated the carbonation by determining if it made me burp.

I wrote down what I thought the prominent flavor was and whether it lingered. I wrote down its sweeteners, its roots and spices, and whether or not it was caffeinated.

Lastly, I discussed its aftertaste and any additional notes.  I then gave it an overall score between 0-5, with 5 being the best.

NOTE: I tend to favor the mintier side of root beers, than say, the vanilla, sweeter side. So my reviews will probably reflect that.
