This is another situation where that happened! The label for Avery\u2019s Root Beer is excellently designed and jumped out at me immediately. I\u2019d also say that it gives me a certain amount of confidence when I see the \u201cEstablished 1904\u201d on the label. If they\u2019ve been in business that long, they\u2019re probably doing something right, right?<\/p>\n
Root beer is delicious and I am excited to drink Avery\u2019s. Is it going to be good stuff? It\u2019s in a clear bottle, which strikes me as slightly odd. Typically, root beer manufacturers will follow the fact that most beers are put into darkened glass bottles, but Avery\u2019s bucked that trend. Perhaps they\u2019re trying to get across the idea that \u201cyeah, our root beer is already dark and beautiful and can\u2019t be spoiled by puny things like the sun, so we\u2019re good\u201d. If so, I like it. The sun is puny.<\/p>\n

Place of Acquirement: <\/b>Rocket Fizz, Winona Lake, IN<\/p>\n
Drinking Vessel\/Portion: <\/b>12 oz clear bottle.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
AROMATICS: <\/b>8.5\/10<\/p>\n
Smells like it\u2019s going to be super sweet! Almost reminds me of Mug Root Beer. Fingers crossed it has a little more depth than Mug…<\/p>\n
FIRST SIP: <\/b>7.5\/10<\/p>\n
A good start! Definitely not an all out blitzkreig of sweetness like I expected from the scent. Has a little bit of a variety of flavor.<\/p>\n
TASTE: <\/b>7\/10<\/p>\n
It\u2019s definitely good! Not the most revolutionary taste ever, but I like it. It\u2019s good. Unlike my CD copy of \u201cAaron\u2019s Party\u201d, I don\u2019t regret purchasing this. (OK, I don\u2019t regret purchasing my copy of \u201cAaron\u2019s Party\u201d either tbh).<\/p>\n
AFTERTASTE: <\/b>8.5\/10<\/p>\n
Very nice aftertaste! Mostly sweet and not nuanced, but I\u2019m just happy anytime it\u2019s not bitter, to be frank.<\/p>\n
MOUTHFEEL: <\/b>7.5\/10<\/p>\n
Nicely smooth! I don\u2019t know the science of carbonation, but this soda really does well to retain carbonation, but not have it slap you in the face. Each sip I found myself saying \u201coh yeah, this is pleasant oh wait AND it\u2019s carbonated? NICE!\u201d<\/p>\n
DEPTH OF FLAVOR: <\/b>6.5\/10<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not entirely lacking depth, but it\u2019s not a soda you want to immerse yourself in. It tastes closer to a mass market root beer by Soda Brand Soda Corp than it does a craft root beer by Microbrew Bearded Boys Company. But it\u2019s definitely a better root beer than Soda Brand Soda Corp\u2019s version!<\/p>\n
SWEETNESS: <\/b>8.5\/10<\/p>\n
Not overbearingly sweet, but still a bit sweeter than average, I\u2019d say. Not in a bad way!<\/p>\n
FLAVOR(S) TASTED: <\/b>Root beer, root beer, a little more root beer.<\/p>\n
LAST SIP: <\/b>9\/10<\/p>\n
Retained the taste and carbonation very well, good to taste.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
OVERALL RATING: <\/b>7.5\/10<\/p>\n
Y\u2019know, back in the early 2000s, I was showing my copy of \u201cAaron\u2019s Party\u201d to my older brother and he offered to fake sign it. I let him do it, and I remember thinking it looked really convincing and good. I saw it recently and, uh, it was not convincing or good. To my older brother, I\u2019m sorry to tell you this, but your Aaron Carter signature forging skills were not up to par back in 2001.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh yeah, the soda review. Much like Aaron Carter in his glory days: this is good stuff. It\u2019s not the greatest thing you\u2019ll ever taste in your life, but it\u2019s good! I wouldn\u2019t shy away from drinking another. The label is very aesthetically pleasing as well. I’d recommend it!<\/p>\n
