One more anonymous root beer. This one is brought to you by San Juan United Soccer Girls U-17 team, proudly sponsored by me. (By the way, these girls play some great soccer and you should watch them if they come to a town near you.)
Abita Root Beer is made with pure Louisiana Cane Sugar. As the website says: "Abita brews its root beer with spring water, herbs, vanilla and yucca (which creates foam). Unlike most soft drink manufacturers, Abita sweetens its root beer with the pure Louisiana cane sugar. The resulting taste is reminiscent of soft drinks made in the 1940's and 1950's before bottlers turned to corn sugar and fructose. Like earlier root beers, Abita is also caffeine-free."
My take: I do not know how Louisiana cane sugar is different from other cane sugar, but the yucca does make it a nice, foamy root beer. I like foam. I also like sweet. And this root beer is sweet. It has a nice flavor to it, with just a hint of the vanilla. That makes for a nice contrast to the sweetness.
Score on a scale of 1 to 10 cases: 8 cases. Very solid showing.
