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.
