BOREO #7: Zevia Creamy Root Beer

Welcome to Brews Of Root Extraction Online. This post reviews the “Creamy Root Beer” from Zevia, a zero-sugar line of sodas sweetened with stevia.

I use five criteria, each scored 1-5, to evaluate brews.

A. Sweetness: 4. Almost perfect. Could be a tiny bit sweeter.

B. Lightbody Spices: 4. Plenty of wintergreen, and a hint of something akin to spearmint (but not spearmint).

C. Heavybody Spices: 4. Anise and vanilla balance out the minty bite very nicely.

D. Uniqueness: 2. Stevia sweetened soft drinks aren’t very common, but otherwise it tastes like most root beer. Plus I’m not sure why they think it’s particularly creamy.

E. Mouthfeel: 5. Bright carbonation and balance make the mouthfeel as good as it gets.

Total score 19/25. Solid.

I’m a regular guy that happens to like bicycling. I don’t look down my nose at people that don’t bike, or only bike casually, or aren’t into sacrificing their body/money/time/safety/sanity for the sake of biking. I have many other interests besides biking...but biking is the focus of this blog...other interests may come up incidentally.
