Root Beer Ratings

We've been trying different root beers for a long time!

Here, we'll rate them all! I'd love to rank them from best to worst but we simply don't get to try new ones as often as I'd like. I hope some of our opinions help you pick your next root beer!

For some added context of what we consider "good" root beer - I prefer when you can taste the cane sugar, but there's still a root taste in there. He likes his root beer on the semi-sweeter side, closer to cream soda. Neither of us likes aspertame or really any other kind of sickly sweet taste.

The Ratings

IBC

Our go-to root beer when we're having a craving for it!

Me: 10 Stars! Him: 10 Stars!

A & W

Our second go-to, always a classic! A little sweet for me but I'm accustomed to it.

Me: 9 Stars! Him: 9 Stars!

Barq's

Not quite a favorite, but definitely not bad!

Me: 7 Stars! Him: 6 Stars!

Abita Root Beer

Not very sweet, very forward "root" taste but not overwhelming!

Me: 8 stars! Him: 7 stars!

VitaLife Prebiotic Root Beer

Not good at all. I want to keep trying these speciality not-sodas to find a good one but hoo boy. This is just sweet with no real root beer flavor at all.

Me: 0 stars. Him: 0 stars.
