Goose Island Vanilla Cream Soda

I've liked Goose Island Root Beer for a year or 2, so when I saw their Vanilla Cream at the grocery store a few weeks ago, I had to grab a bottle.

Brand: Goose Island Vanilla Cream Soda.

Origin: Redding, California.

Purchase Place: Lunds Grocery Store, St. Paul, MN.

Sweetener: Cane Sugar.

Review: Very smooth with a strong vanilla bean smell and taste. Great initial flavor - sweet and delicious with a little bit of a punch. The aftertaste isn't as great, but I'd definitely have this again.

Score: 8 out of 10.

Goose Island Chicago Style Root Beer

I was shopping at Kowalski's Market in St. Paul this past weekend with my son, and we came across some Goose Island Root Beer.

I've had this before, and I remembered liking it, so I left with a 4-pack.

Brand: Goose Island Chicago Style Root Beer.

Origin: Redding, California.

Purchase Place: Kowalski's Market, St. Paul, MN.

Sweetener: Cane Sugar.

Review: I liked it before, and I still like it now. It's not too heavy, has a nice vanilla smell, goes down smooth, and has just a little bite. The combo of smooth and bite makes this a great soda that most people will like. There's a great "sweetness" (not sugary) to this root beer.

Score: 8 out of 10.
