A light and fresh sparking drink with a strong and natural grapefruit flavor. The flavor is very good, being not overly tart or too candy sweet. It tastes like grapefruit, but it doesn't make me want to stab someone in the neck like actual grapefruit does.
As with the other drinks by Bundaberg, there's fruit sediment and pulp in the bottle, which I like. Out of all the Bundaberg fruit drinks, I think this is the best one.
Goya smells like a bowl of bran cereal. Well, guess what? It tastes like a bowl of bran cereal too. I don't think it's as good as a nice bowl of Raisin Bran with milk, but it's close. The flavor is very strong. If you add some milk it cuts the flavor a bit and makes it more palatable, but I still can't call myself a fan of this kind of drink.
Considering the horrible experience I've had with malt beverages in the past, Goya is the best of the bunch, but I think that malt beverages are just a thing I'm going to have to pass on.
Tastes like a watered down Barq's Root Beer with a hint of cream soda and almond. It leaves a kind of chemical-tasting butterscotch aftertaste. Pretty bland and not very good overall.
Skip this one and go with a far superior root beer such as one by Americana, Bulldog or Maine Root.
How has this flavor of Jarritos eluded me for so long? It's pretty damn good. The flavor is quite similar to Pepsi, but with an even fruitier cola flavor blended with a slightly bitterer root-type flavor.
I haven't seen this around much, but if you do find it, give it a try.
Right between a Weinhard's and a Barq's. Very smooth with a dominant wintergreen flavor and a lighter honey flavor mixed in. It's a good combination, but leaves the drink smack-dab between other more distinguished root beers that dare to pick a side. It's also not very fizzy, or really all that creamy or foamy, as the name might suggest.
All that noted, it's still a delicious root beer that I will get more of; and if you're out and about and happen to spot one, I suggest you do the same.
Another incredibly sweet offering from Goody. A very pronounced bubble gum flavor with maraschino cherry and cinnamon mixed in. It tastes a bit like a cherry Slurpee. The hint of cinnamon seems out of place. The drink also leaves an aftertaste which reminds me of potpourri.
This is the best Goody pop so far, but I'm beginning to feel like I'm two decades too old...or perhaps eight decades too young for these Goody drinks.
This is the sweetest sarsaparilla I've tried, but it is by no means too sweet. It's got vanilla cream in it, making it taste like a sarsaparilla float. The issue with this though is that it covers up the sarsaparilla flavor, making it tough to distinguish from a regular ol' Root Beer.
Although the sarsaparilla flavor is a bit buried in the vanilla cream flavor, it's still a very good drink and worth trying out.
The guava flavor is light and sweet and the sparkling water is crisp and fizzy. I noted a mild fermented flavor in the mix, which is probably in part to the "guava brew (water, guava puree, sugar, yeast)" listed in the ingredients.
There's a bit of fruit sediment floating around in the bottle, which I appreciate. Overall a good drink, but I wish the juice percentage was higher.
A
not-very-good mixture of anise, mint, honey and...ginger cookies? Wow. Alright. The flavor isn't particularly strong, but the bizarrely present rancid honey and ginger cookie flavors leave a bad aftertaste nonetheless.
Overall it's watery and not very good.
The overall flavor is nice, being both bitter and sweet at the same time. The bitterness comes from a strong anise flavor, which seems to not want to mingle with the sugary sweetness also in the bottle. I don't detect any notes of honey or vanilla.
This one is just a straight-up root beer. A good no frills sort of drink.
