Barq's Floatz: Barq's Floatz

BevNET Review: This is truly one of the more bizarre product offerings Coke has ever introduced. Why? Well, for starters it actually tastes good! Aside from that, it comes in a 12 oz GLASS bottle and has a crown top. So what on earth does a Barq Floatz taste like? While the label claims that it tastes like a root beer float, we'd say that it tastes like a product that is half root beer, half cream soda. Not exactly what your typical soda fountain float tastes like. You really have to try it to truly understand it. As for the packaging, it comes in glass bottles with a slightly retro, yet loud design. Overall, we like it. If only other Coke products were more like this...

It takes companies years to come up with products like this, yet Barqs stop makin this drink? I tasted it somewhere in Louisiana, and looked for it one year, and finnaly found out they stop making it! If they market this product it will take off! What is Barqs thinking about? Don't they realize what they have in this drink?

Seriously Barq's, what are you thinking, I lived in Biloxi for a yr when I first tasted this elixor of the God's. It was as if an angel kicked me in the mouth. I can honestly say the only soda I will drink above all others. Why you decided to stop makin it and not distribute it to others states (by the way I found it in Little Rock for 5 min before it was gone again) is beyond my business comprehension. Please put this product out there again. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a bad drink

Didn't taste like a float exactly. But was still a nice desert drink. Too bad it's been discontinued apparently. Haven't seen a bottle in at least 4 years.

I have purchased this item a few weeks ago. I have to say, that was the best Root Beer Float that has ever touched my tongue.

Good Stuff!

I tried a Barq's Float for the first time today, and I have to say that it tastes pretty good. It's got about the perfect combination of root beer/cream soda flavor, if you ask me. It's sweet, and goes down easy. One thing I'd change, however, is the name. There are way too many product nowadays that denote their plurality by adding a "Z" where an "S" usually goes. But don't let my own fussiness stop you from trying a bottle of this stuff, it tastes great!

I was recently in New Orleans for a convention, and I happened to come across a bottle of Floatz being served between seminars. I wasn't sure what it was, but I was attracted to the bottle design and just had to try it. I was very pleasantly surprised, and can only hope for the day when it becomes available nationwide, so my friends can see what I am talking about!

I find this drink extremely pleasing I like the flavor and the packaging, though it really doesn't taste like a float it's a darn good flavor whatever it is.
