The Bad Root Beers

Rutherford Root Beer

Yuk! The Body is weak, watery, fruity, and tastes kind of like a cola or maybe medicine. There only a very little Head. The Bite, however, is good. The After Taste is fruity and medicine like that left a bad taste in my mouth long after I was finished drinking it. It says on the bottle that Napa Valley is synonymous with quality, good taste and natural beauty. If this is true, I don't know how this root beer slipped by them. I got this in Sacramento CA. I believe that it can be found in Napa Valley.

Journey Shenandoah Root Beer

Oh this is awful. The Body is weird, the Head is weak, the After Taste made me almost vomit, and the Bite has nothing notable. It does have pretty bottle though. I got this in Seattle.

X Root Beer Riot

This stuff is plain awful. The Body is weak at best but the Head is good. The Bite if any can only be described as weird. The After Taste is a strange combination of ginseng and other herbal stuff that tastes like medicine. The bottle is not that pretty. My friend got this in Seattle.

Ew! The Body has a gross fruity medicine like flavor which is painful to drink. It is thankfully rather watery for if it were stronger I would probably have puked. It doesn't really have a Bite, and there is no Head to speak of whatsoever. In all honesty it is the worst root beer head I have ever seen. There is not much After Taste but what is there is bad. How they can even pretend that this is root beer? The bottle is pretty but it was so awful in so many other aspects as to negate half of the keg awarded for the prettiness of the bottle. I ordered this online but would never do so again.

Rat Bastard Root Beer

I think that for this one I will only use the expletives that appear on the bottle. The Body was gross, strange, kinda fruity with a dash of cola? The Head was near nonexistent. There was a harsh Bite, but it was from many strange herbs and things that should NEVER be put in root beer. It made me stick my tongue out of my mouth repeatedly after each swallow (I guess that my tongue was trying to wipe the flavor off or something.) But then came the After Taste which was the same rancid flavor that made me stick my tongue out in the first place. In short it was as the bottle boasts in that it "tastes like a son of a bitch." To top it all off, it has an ugly and offensive bottle. I ordered this online, but I do not recommend it to anyone.
