Review: Root Beer

Posted: Apr 26, 2005 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Apr 26, 2005 at 5:55 PM)
This Zota offering misses more than it hits when it comes to providing good root beer flavor. While it’s pleasantly sweet, smells herbal and has nice body, there’s an off-flavor in there that almost tastes milky – that might be the green tea fighting its way through the mix, something it isn’t able to in other Zota formulations we’ve tasted. While the others have been able to transcend their pedestrian label, this one sinks to its level. Anyone interested in seeing what a green tea root beer would taste like should try it, but don’t blame us for the result. If they want to salvage this product, its body needs to be much sweeter and more creamy -- which should help hide the green tea flavor. Until then, this product is going to have a very hard time winning over anyone who enjoys root beer.
