A Little Sip of Heaven
I was deeply considering just letting this indulging image speak for itself, but I also realized you must know that A&W now has bottled floats!
Wow. I love you root-b. Have I told you that lately? A&W is definitely top of the line in terms of mainstream rootbeer/cream soda makers. Learning of this new development in their small yet fantasticular soft drink line-up, I shed a tear of utter joy. A&W encompasses the taste that defines root beer. I mean you know they’re good; they own rootbeer.com. They were even amazing enough to get floats.com for their new float drink series.
Although I have yet to try, or for that matter find, one of these strokes of genius (wink), I must say it looks like an immediate success and I’m anxious, thrilled and a whole bunch of other adjectives; waiting to indulge in this foam of delectable carbonation and creamy wonder.
But for those of you who aren’t fully in it with the root beer struggle, get out there and test the competitors yourself. Mug is decent. Barq’s sucks. A&W is the way to go. I mean come on; it’s made with aged vanilla. Wouldn’t everything be better with aged vanilla?
Cheers!
I just found this new beverage in a Walgreen’s by my house and I must say it’s not bad. It definitely does’t compare to the splendor a true root beer float bubbles, but what do you expect from an artificially inseminated drink? This is definitely NOT something to enjoy while eating. My spicy sandwich ruined the taste of it, so I was forced to save and endure later.
I imagine this would taste extremely good if it was almost frozen. The color is a little weird. I know it sounds odd to be concerned with beverage color, but seriously Pepsi proved to us all the color matters. This one is remnant of butt pee. Getting your mind around that is one thing, but also keep in mind that each serving has almost 70g of sugar. That’s nuts!
Overall I’d have to give the new A&W Float soft drink, melted ice creamery of a beverage a 7 out of 10. If they changed the color somehow and gave it more of an authentic taste, without the overdose of sugar, I’d be highly satisfied!
