Aroma and Flavor – 2 out of 3 mugs
The beverage is a rich, solid sarsaparilla with a basic flavor profile. It is a sweet, smooth, root beer-style sarsaparilla made with real cane sugar. Subtle notes of caramel can be detected, although the ingredients list only mentions caramel color, indicating a straightforward flavor profile.
Head – 2 out of 3 mugs
The head is very large and frothy, yet dissipates in less than 10 seconds.
Zip – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
There is nothing substantial about the brew. A solid, basic sarsaparilla and medium carbonation.
Post Consumption Impression – 2 out of 3 mugs
This is an average brew. I typically love sarsaparilla more than basic root beer, yet this does not provide the satisfaction for me.
Would I recommend this at 7.5 out of 12 mugs (5.5 out of 9 mugs without the head)?
The ingredients are listed as natural flavors, whereas most are natural and artificial flavors.
