Dominion Root Beer

Bought From: Giant Food Stores, in Arlington, VA

Initial Uncapping: Popping it open, this drink smells sweet.

Carbonation: Light

The rundown: This root beer touts to be made with pure honey and, boy oh boy, you can definitely tell, almost too much. It's very overpowering. The honey does gives it a much different flavor than most root beers (even the cane sugar ones). The root beer taste is there, but that honey is just too much. There is an aftertaste that sticks with you for a while.

Summary: Good if you are looking for something sweet, not so much if you want root beer.

TK Rating: 3 out of 10

P.S. What is Root Beer Extract #214 and #79-400? And why is #214 separate from the all inclusive list of #79-400?!?

General Info

About Me:

My name is TK. I am 23 year old, Asian-American engineer who plays video games and enjoys running.

I do love root beer so I decided to post some reviews about ones that I drink. It is definitely my favorite drink, above beer, wine, orange juice and other sodas. I do like a good cream soda too, so there may be an occasional cream soda review in here.

There are a bunch of other awesome root beer blogs out there and I'll probably link to some.

My goal is to spread the love of root beer across the internet world!
