Not your father's root beer

MNoob · 02-27-2016, 07:57 PM

Anyone try this? Shockingly good.

EALm4 · 02-27-2016, 08:23 PM

It's pretty good. I prefer Coney Island Brewing Co's hard root beer tho

1MOREMOD · 02-27-2016, 08:26 PM

Yes had it. I feel the alcohol adds to the sweetness of the root beer and it's was too sugary tasting.

MNoob · 02-27-2016, 08:27 PM

Never even knew there was such a thing as alcoholic root beer. It's good. I'm almost done with the 6 pack, so I'm probably not a reliable source right now.

Pretty tasty but I agree...too sweet for me.

RedlinePSI · 02-27-2016, 09:13 PM

Very good, but can only have a couple of them before my stomach starts to ache.

you just gotta power past the first 4, then it gets better.

1MOREMOD · 02-27-2016, 09:29 PM

First sip I was like sn this is good and then couldn't make it thru a whole bottle.

I believe you. Whether one has had any food or not is also likely a big factor. I just find it easier to enjoy one, then switch back over to Hofbrau or something.

Sidewinderpb · 02-27-2016, 11:49 PM

I had one. Reminded me of 4 loko. Couldn't even finish it.

What is it? No pic....love root beer, but don't know what you guys are talking about.

Ragged Edge · 02-27-2016, 11:57 PM

This.

No idea... but it sounds interesting, so it's probably illegal here.

try again

EALm4 · 02-28-2016, 12:33 AM

One of those beers that you just sip on and not binge drink the whole sixer in a hour

1MOREMOD · 02-28-2016, 12:52 AM

Try some dogfish 120 minute ipa instead. 1 and done.

They have a "seasonal" 19.5% available in a bomber or on draft in a select market around the brewery in Illinois as well a 10.7%. I would like to try 19.5%!

The 5.9% is alright, I'm not a big fan of root beer flavored stuff.

Verbiage · 02-28-2016, 08:34 AM

I enjoy this.

Yeah the 120 is 18 percent

WreckerX5d · 02-28-2016, 08:50 AM

Tastes pretty close to Captain and rootbeer. I prefer the captain mix instead, wasn't too fond of the NYFRB.

Eliminator 429 · 02-28-2016, 08:54 AM

Ill have one now and then but it is very sweet. Chicks love it so I keep it in stock for them.

wdb · 02-28-2016, 09:29 AM

Seems like a way to ruin a perfectly good beverage. Good root beer is good all by itself. Not everything needs alcohol.

(Waitaminit did I just say that?)
