Sainsburys Root Beer

Firstly I would like to thank Starsally for telling me that there was a space to write about my favourite soft drink. So thank you Starsally. Among most of my friends, it seems that I am the only one who likes to drink Root Beer. This I cannot understand as I think that it is one of the most refreshing drinks around. A well-known fast food chain first introduced me to this. I bought my first one and from then on I was hooked. Unfortunately in time ...
...say that I was well and truly gutted. I have searched far and wide, while on my travels, tried this brand and that brand. All in all I have tried a far few combinations. I am now happy to report that I have found a brand that I am happy with. Would you believe I have found this at Asda? I was looking for my children’s favourite fizzy drink, when low and behold there was Root Beer. Needless to say I forgot the children’s drinks and bought the pack ...

Review of Sainsburys Root Beer

There are so many Root Beer brands here in the United States. There are even people who have their own recipes and make their own. Root Beer is a sweetened, carbonated drink that originally was made using the root of the sassafras plant or the bark from the tree. Birch Beer is similar, but uses birch tree bark. Depending on the different regions, a variety of other ingredients were added. Anything from dandelion, juniper, corn syrup, etc., but the ...
...Beer, and unless you tasted it, it's hard to describe. It's almost like caramel, but not as sweet, yet a bit more thicker. A perfect Root Beer is drunk from a Beer mug or stein, and should be full-bodied and thickly foamed. It is actually processed like a beer, put in barrels and kegs. I think it would be hard to find a commercial Root Beer that uses sassafras, and uses all the old time ingredients. Today it's about flavor. Nobody actually pours ...

Review of Sainsburys Root Beer

Bored with the regular flavour of soft drinks? there are colas, oranges, fruit flavoured drinks galore, but none really stand out from the crowd in the same way that Root Beer does. Let me explain.…. On its own, Root Beer (RB) is a tasty thirst quencher, it’s flavour one to be savoured as opposed to being an easily swallowed complimentary taste to carbonated water. Root Beer is always, and I cant stress enough how important it is for RB to be ...
...a pint glass of RB always yields a glass full of body, with a head somewhat like a pint, of real beer! Tastes like toothpaste, is what my mum thinks, not a fan. She doesn’t like colas or carbonated drinks in general though. I find the taste to be totally different to the mainstream fizzy soft drinks. I beleive it's taste can be the most closely related to Dr Pepper. But without the sweetness.. has more bite, punch.. but frothy man! Taste those ...

...- style root beers Sainsburys own label "Traditional" root beer: Avoid like a root beer plague! the last bottle of this I had tasted disgusting, NOT GOOD ROOT BEER AT ALL!

Review of Sainsburys Root Beer

Root beer, its one of those great American traditions. When I was younger and I watched American kids programs I wondered how they got away with drinking a beer. When I actually went to America for the first time I realised it was simply a soft drink and was almost as wide spread as other soft drinks such as Coca-Cola. Available as a drink with your McDonlads or in a theme park I quickly came to try it for the first time. Now the name root beer doesn't ...
...it had my curiosity from an early age. What was it all these US kids loved so much. First off I found it quite a strange taste, but it was still a drinkable fizzy drink. It quickly hits you that it has a familiar taste, almost medicinal. A lot of people may say this, but its true. It's just not an extreme medicinal taste, like I said it still is very drinkable. I found it to be sweet and tangy but also refreshing. The best I can do to describe its ...

Review of Sainsburys Root Beer

On my first visit to the USA I thought I'd try Root Beer.... I knew from the moment I opened the can I had made a mistake. It smells like antiseptic cream, and tastes pretty much the same. I honestly thought I'd like it being such a fan of Dandelion And Burdock, but I couldn't drink more than a mouthful of the stuff. It is widely available in Asda, but quite who would buy it is beyond me! There are so many things American I like.... Root Beer isn't ...

Review of Sainsburys Root Beer

I got so excited when I saw a link to someone purportedly selling root beer. Okay I did notice it was Amazon.co.uk, but, hey, I live in hope; maybe they'd branched out into things to drink while you read their books and listen to their CDs. But NO. It was a filthy dirty trick. You poeple got my hopes up and then DASHED them to the ground. I'm pregnant; I crave root beer and cannot get it. Swine! Oh, so you want more, eh? I drank root beer all summer ...
