I'm not sure if this is a compliment, but...this is the best AJStephans product that I have consumed so far. I'm still a little per-plexed about this mysterious "flavoring" they speak of on the ingredients. The ingredients could be read as "flavored sugar water". I think that would be easier to understand.

I have seen Oktoberfest beer as dark as this soda. The scent is superb, the sarsaparilla really stands out. The flavor is good (initially) and I could taste various flavors well. Then the aftertase kicks in and tends to spoil the experience. It is probably just me but I thought that it was the dry aftertaste that brought this one down a notch. Is alum an ingredient?

Once again I have lost my faith in the word sarsaparilla. I really want to like the taste but I can't. Boy am I glad Tim just brought me a MT. Dew to wash that bad sassy down.

It hit the glass and foamed up nicely. It has a dark RB color and a sas'prilla flavor. I liked the fact that this one did not surprise me with an odd color or an overpowering flavor but, I was hoping that it had something 'special' to it.

This sassparilla is far from sassy. In fact it has about as much kick as a glass of tap water. Tastes like your low budge soda. Get it for your collection but don't bother drinking it.

Red, foamy and full of goodness. This one appealed to my sweet tooth. It has a tinge of wintergreen flavor to it which means you may not be able to chug more than one at a time.

This beverage tastes nearly identical to the Boylan's Original Birch Beer. If there were any difference I would say that this has a slightly higher belch factor. That's just one guys opinion. I may be wrong........but I'm not.

If you must drink a DIET birch beer then by all means drink one of these. I have no reason to drink anything DIET as it conflicts with the mayonaise on my bacon triple cheese burger. Sucralose should not be for human consumption... bleh!

After Careful consideration, I must rename this beverage to..."Boylan's No Color Here Extremely foul Diet aftertaste wannabe a Birch can't take more than two stinkin' drinks Beer".

It leaves your mouth dry. Having said that, I can call it my only complaint. I like the spice flavor, dark color and out of the ordinary experience. The aftertaste is part of the Birch flavor, get used to it!

A strong taste...yes. This is the flavor that a Birch Beer should have. You may not enjoy slamming too many of these monkeys. But I would really enjoy this brew with my meal.

This is still an aquired taste. If you do not like wintergreen or wood oil, grab a glass of grape soda and get away from birch beers. Very sweet, great birch taste, still couldn't chug more than one if I had to. These are sippin' brews buddy.

Holy spearmint soda bat! This bevy screams flava. Did I say "flava"? The taste just clings to your mouth inards and frolics for a moment dancing with excitement. Drink this when you want to drink a soda but you don't want to taste some same ol', same ol'.

A really good sas'prilla. This brew should appear on your list, it is on mine. I am going back for more!

I've been very happy with the whole Briars collection. The sarsaparilla definitely has a "root" flavor. The taste is distinct but not where you're reaching for the tongue scraper. Buy one of each and have your own taste-fest.

That was good stuff! This Sasparilla has a snap of great flavor that makes you want to sample another just to taste it again. Barkeep, got another?

This was good for a sarsaparilla. It had a distinct flavor but not a distinctively bad flavor that you might get from a nappy sarsaparilla. I would drink it again if it were offered.

Genuine Hank's Premium Philadelphia Birch Beer

Red, sweet and foamy is about the only thing that needs to be said. I was a bit put off by a "Birch Beer" in my trusty frosted mug but I think this stuff is going to make me a believer! "Barkeep, pass me another!"

Hank has done it again. Can I get this in the 84oz. mega big gulp size? This may very well be closest we humans will get to Root Beer Bliss. Praise Hank. If you don't try to hunt down a bottle of this, then you are not worthy to be on our web sight.

Hansen's Signature Sarsaparilla

If it is possible to have a soda taste 'maltier' than another then this one does so. It's not bad, just different than one would expect. It is dark brown, maple sugary sweet and smooth. Once again, it is different, so be prepared.

Oh Sweet mama. This is a really sweet tasting brew. You wouldn't want to drink more than one at a time unless you were munching on some vittles in between swiggs. Definately has flava.

It is crystal clear, smells and tastes like wintergreen candy yet it is a beverage. So I was initially put off by a Pepto-Bismol flavored soda but, I overcame the odds and found myself enjoying the uniqueness of this drink. Insta-belch at 9.

Keeping the Birch Beer standards high. I really liked the crytal clear color of the drink. The flavor leaves a sweet peppermint taste behind. Drink it with aunt Martha's meatloaf to hide the flavor of her bad cooking.

The only thing mystic about this brew is it's flavor. I take a swigg and feel as though I just licked about 248 stamps. I reccommend buying one of these to stick your stamps in so you do not have to lick them. 2 stars

Ol' Bob Miller's Wild West Red Sas'parilla

Hrmmm.... it is a little on the WTH side and tastes good. This sas'prilla flavor is unique and I recommend it, if you can find it in your local store. Extended belch factor of 8.

For a "sas'parilla" I must give this high marks. For an overall beverage...it seemed to loose it's pizazz after a half a glass. It left me wanting more. Belllllllllllllllllllllch x 2.

For the first Birch Beer tested, this is not too bad. It kind of has that Xmas spice potpourri flavor to it. It is a sweet drink so it may be a task to drink more than one at a time.

I am not yet a "Birch Beer Fan". However, this is good enough to catch my interest. If your want a new taste that will go well with dinner, this is your brew. I would drink this again.

FIRst sip = ick. Second sip = blah with less ick. This could have had the makings of a fine tasting Sas but, it just doesn't cut it with me. Not enough flavor.

Light golden brown in color. Does that make it taste better??? Anyway...The flavor is that of your average brew that has nothing special to it. For some reason it is found in the "Health Food" area of your grocery store.

Hooowah! The flavor of this one stands up, jumps at you and delivers a back-hand full of Sas'prilla right to your chops! I liked it and will be on the lookout for another bottle.

Not too shabby, Has that chalky taste to it that some people might like. As I got more near the bottom of the glass, I started to appreciate the flavor a little more.
