Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
Sprecher Root Beer soda is prepared in a hand-made gas fired kettle right at their micro-brewery. By utilizing raw honey, pure vanilla, and a host of botanicals, Sprechers produces this rich, root flavor and thick, creamy head. For optimum enjoyment, serve in frosted mugs.

Red Ravin'
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 16 fl oz glass

BevNET Review:
We'll be honest -- our entire panel was quite skeptical about this product. From the sound of the name, we expected something that bordered on energy drink. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised by this sweet and flavorful beverage. The flavor has a very nice cherry flavor with subtle bitter hints of cranberry flavor and is sweetened with honey (and corn syrup). We'd ditch the corn syrup, but fortunately the flavors hide any syrupy consistency that exists in this product. Also, they've added ginseng which gives the product a slightly herbal taste. Overall, it's good stuff -- but we'd love to see can sugar in place of the corn syrup.

Ginger Ale
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 16 fl oz glass

BevNET Review:
Sprech Ginger Ale is much different than any other ginger ale we've ever sampled here at BevNET. Basically, the product has a very cool mouth feel and a subtle spice to the finish. This product has the best of both worlds -- sweetness and ginger spice. In addition, we really like the 16oz wide body bottle. It adds a lot of character to the product. Great stuff.

Low Cal Root Beer
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 16 fl oz glass

BevNET Review:
We're a tad disappointed by this product. While the concept is good, it really pains us to see a product like this using aspartame. There are so many better sweeteners out there and this product really suffers as a result. Overall, the root beer flavor is good, but the aftertaste is just too much to bear.

Orange Dream
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 16 fl oz glass

BevNET Review:
Sprecher Orange Dream is a relatively refreshing orange cream soda. Like other versions of this beverage, Orange Dream has an orange creamsicle flavor. It's not bad and, in fact, is not nearly as sweet as some of its competitors. This being said, we'd give this product a second look. The only real downside to this product is the use of corn syrup. The bottle and brand make it look like a high end product, but corn syrup really says otherwise.

Cream Soda
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 16oz bottles

BevNET Review:
Sprecher Cream Soda is in a class all its own when it comes to high quality cream sodas. This variety has a rich vanilla and honey flavor that are extremely flavorful. In addition, it has an almost caramel like sweetness to it that makes it even more enjoyable. Finally, we really like the 16oz wide body glass bottle. Given that we like this product so much, it was nice to have the extra 4 ounces. Overall a top notch product.

Root Beer
Category: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Packaging: 1/2 Barrel, 1/4 Barrel and 16oz bottles

BevNET Review:
Sprecher Root Beer is a top-quality root beer made in a brewery in Wisconsin. It has a strong vanilla flavor, a smooth taste, and a nice thick head. In addition, this beverage uses botanicals and raw honey, which give Sprechers a unique finish. We highly recommend this root beer -- the taste is so enjoyable and it comes in a 16oz (not your normal 12oz) brown glass bottle for optimum refreshment. One of the best beverages to ever come out of the midwest!
