Methinks that this review process should have some kind of standardization for grading. There are many good root beers out there, but I need to be able to honestly know which is the best and for what reasons. Rating categories:
- Carbonation: is the drink appropriately carbonated for the flavor?
- Drinkability: is the product difficult to drink? The ability to finish the serving and possibly order more will be considered
- Interest: Is the flavor especially unique?
- Balance: is the overall flavoring, sweetness and carbonation balanced?
Rating on each category will be from 1-10, and then averaged to give a final number. Similar sodas, such as birch beer and sarsaparilla may be reviewed on this page, but will not be rated.
Although it will have little bearing on the final mark given, I will also differentiate the drinks into three categories:
- Grade A – Root beers that are only available in cans or plastic bottles
- Grade B – Root beer that is in glass bottles and/or on tap
- Grade C – Root beer that fits Grade B qualifications, but is either micro-brewed, or has limited distribution
The reviews are of my own personal opinion and are not intended to be taken seriously. If you are offended by a review, you probably need to find something better to get offended about. If a rating is taken seriously by a manufacturer, that probably indicates that your legal team is bored.
