Zevia – Natural Root Beer Review

Yes, those are bright red cabinets.

Danithius thought that he could steal this review from me, but I’m going to one-up him and steal it back.  That’s right, take that, my soda-loving friend. I promised the people my words, and they will have them! I completely agree with the following.

I split my remaining sodas with my roommate, who enjoyed this drink as much as I did.  After opening the can, your nostrils are lovingly caressed by a rich, earthy root beer scent.  It has all the right ingredients – anise oil, wintergreen oil, cassia and citrus oils, and ginger root extract.  So how is the flavor for this one?

I can taste a little bit of the ginger and anise extracts immediately, but the real flavor of this root beer comes through in the aftertaste, as all of the different flavor oils mingle on your tongue.  This is good, because any Stevia/Erythritol flavor seems to come out in the aftertaste as well.  It’s a different sensation that I’m used to with sugar-sweetened root beers, who usually have a very up-front bite that fades away at a steady pace.  This root beer seems to have a bite that builds for another second or so after you swallow, and a flavor that lingers longer than the norm.  I can still taste the sip I drank over 30 seconds ago.  But it’s a good, savory flavor that I don’t mind hanging around.

Score: 4.5 out of 5

    I consider myself somewhat of a a root beer connoisseur. While like the taste, I wouldn’t rank it high on root beer taste scale. I would not consider this an everyday drink but I would drink it to throw some variety into things.
