Diet Cream Soda

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Diet; Container: 12 fl oz (355 ml) glass
BevNET Review: Briar's Diet Cream Soda is a zero calorie and zero sugar formulation that doesn't compromise in taste. We had some concerns the sucralose-sweetened beverage would have a strong aftertaste. Fortunately, the cream flavor covers the aftertaste and the beverage is quite enjoyable. Overall, an excellent addition to the diet lineup of Briar's Premium.Reviewed on: 7/22/2004

Grape Soda

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 fl oz (355 ml) glass
BevNET Review: Briar's Grape Soda is a good quality grape soda that complements the Briar's product line. Grape sodas are too often overly sweet, but Briar's Grape has created a version that has a well-balanced flavor. This beverage is refreshing and relatively natural in its flavor. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for a thirst-quenching grape soda.Reviewed on: 7/22/2004

Diet Black Cherry

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Diet; Container: 12 fl oz (355 ml) glass
BevNET Review: Diet Black Cherry is, in our opinion, the best diet flavor of the Briar's Premium brand. The tartness of the black cherry flavor does an excellent job of hiding the aftertaste of the sucralose. As a result, Briar's Diet Black Cherry is extremely refreshing without the calories of a regular soft drink.Reviewed on: 7/22/2004

Diet Root Beer

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Diet; Container: 12 fl oz (355 ml) glass
BevNET Review: Briar's Diet Root Beer is a four calorie beverage that uses Splenda as its sweetener. The result is a product that has a good level of sweetness compared to a sugar-based beverage, but without the levels of carbs/calories. The flavor is good, but it lacks the creamy body that you will find in regular Briar's Root Beer. Still, this product definitely holds its own as far as diet root beers go. Overall, a good diet addition to the Briar's line.Reviewed on: 3/5/2004

Orange Cream

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12oz long neck bottle
BevNET Review: Briar's Orange Cream is a rich and creamy orange soda that resembles the flavor of an orange creamsicle frozen treat. The orange flavor is refereshing, but the creaminess of this beverage really didn't do a lot for us. Briar's Orange Cream is a refreshing beverage, but this beverage would have been much better if it were just a standard orange soda. Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

Red Birch Beer

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 33.8oz glass
BevNET Review: Briar's Red Birch Beer is a refreshing brew of birch beer that uses pure cane sugar. As for the flavor, we like it -- but it's a little milder than we tend to like our birch beer. The birch flavor itself is quite good and relatively creamy. Overall, a great product that could be just a tad sweeter.Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

Cream Soda

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 ounce glass
BevNET Review: Don't get us wrong -- Briar's Cream Soda is a refreshing and flavorful soda. However, the flavor used in this product isn't one that jumps out at us as being high quality or original. Specifically, the cream soda flavor could use a bit more vanilla flavor. Overall, Briar's Cream Soda is a good entry -- but isn't special enough to receive our highest marks.Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

Lemonade Cream

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12oz long neck bottle
BevNET Review: Briar's Lemonade Cream is a carbonated lemon flavored beverage that has the addition of a cream soda flavor mixed in. The resulting beverage is very much in the tradition of Briar's Orange Cream: a rich and creamy old fashioned beverage. Give this one a try! Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

Root Beer

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12oz long neck bottle; 1 liter
BevNET Review: Briar's Root Beer is much lighter than many of the other root beers on the market today. Specifically, it's flavor is much more crisp (and less creamy). If you like a root beer that's not as rich, Briar's is a great choice. The new packaging and formulation have definitely improved this beverage.Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

Six Gun Sarsaparilla

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12oz long neck bottle
BevNET Review: This was the BevNET!'s first taste of Sarsaparilla, and may we say that this stuff was awesome! It has all the characteristics of root beer: it's sweet, smooth, creamy, and it's got bite. We aren't really too sure what the difference is between this and root beer, but anyway we were quite impressed with this product. A highly superior beverage! Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

Black Cherry

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12oz bottle
BevNET Review: Briar's Black Cherry is a refreshing berry flavored soda that we fell in love with during our first sip. While Black Cherry appears to be similar in color to a typical blackcherry soda, it's actually quite sweeter. The quality is excellent -- very smooth and not too syrupy and we love the packaging. Overall, a great product. Definitely give this one a try!Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

Orange Cream - 1 liter

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 33.8oz glass
BevNET Review: Generally, we are not that crazy about Orange Cream sodas. However, Briar's new Orange Cream has changed our mind about this flavor. This beverage is smoother and more refreshing than any other orange cream on the market -- most likely due to the use of pure cane sugar. In addition, due to the use of orange juice the orange flavor is very natural tasting. Overall, an exceptional soda!Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

BevNET Review: Briar's Birch Beer is a light and refreshing beverage. It is not as heavy as the root beer and it is much easier to drink. This beverage has a subtle spice to it that kept us coming back for more. Also, the birch beer seems a little less carbonated than the sarsaparilla and root beer. Briar's has once again made a fine brew that the BevNET just could not get enough of. Reviewed on: 3/4/2003

Product Type:Carbonated Soft Drink: Diet; Container: 12oz long neck bottle
BevNET Review: While no one on the BevNET review staff has much experience with diet birch beer, we must say that this is the best one we have ever had. You can hardly even tell that this beverage is sweetened with NutraSweet. Most diet beverages that we have had lack flavor, but this one certainly does not. A fine diet beverage!
