| Ready for some root beer while playing Catan. |
 |
| Large 22 oz wax-sealed bottle. |
 |
| A nice detail on the side label: 5 of these will get you 1 free root beer. |
 |
| I cut off the "bottom" of the wax seal before taking a few stabs at taking off the cap with my son's multi-tool. |
Brand: Gold Mine Root Beer.
Origin: Camarillo, CA.
Purchase Place: "Minnesota's Largest Candy Store," Jordan, MN.
Sweetener: Cane Sugar.
Review: We didn't know if this would be "fancy" as I remember it being a bit more expensive (and not just like twice as expensive because it's about twice the volume of a normal bottle). It didn't taste fancy, but it was pretty solid! It wasn't very smooth and creamy, but instead it was a root beer with a decent amount of "bite" to it. It wasn't exceptional, but it was a decent and tasty root beer, so I'll rank it just above average.
Score: 7 out of 10.
I remember buying a case of the Gold Mine Sarsaparilla. Tried redeeming my Gold Mine certificates for a few free bottles. Was like pulling teeth. The store didn't want to give to me, so I had to contact Rocket Fizz directly. Took me like 2 months to get my 2 free bottles. Geez. They said I was the first person to ever redeem these tickets which is why there was a hold up. Talk about terrible customer service.
ReplyDeleteOn a happier note..... the gold mine sarsaparilla is good enough to buy a case of. An 8 or 9 score for me.
