Bottle and Label: Brown bottle with a simple white label
Ingredients: CarbonatedWater, sugar and/or corn sweetner, Caramel Color, Natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate (preservative)
Smell: Strong licorice smell from bottle with nice vanilla hints. The wintergreen kicks up a notch when it is poured
Carbonation: High level of carbonation provides a nice bite without obscuring the robust flavor
Color: Nearly black
Head: Tall and long lasting with a lot of foam. I wasn’t able to pour the whole bottle into my tall, frosty mug without stopping
Flavor: Strong, robust, and traditional. Wintergreen and licorice are dominant with some hints of vanilla providing a nice bit of smoothness
Conclusion: Redmon’s Root Beer doesn’t do anything fancy. It is just a solid tasting root beer. A little better than average and probably comparable to an IBC. It won’t win any beauty contests but on a hot summer day the strong flavor is just right.
RBR’s grade- B-
Where can I get me some of this? I’d love to try it.
@Eric, the link in the post goes to a Facebook page that has their contact information. We stopped there to get gas and check out the candy store on a trip to Kentucky and happily discovered they had their own root beer.
