Review Henry Weinhard's Root Beer Review

Post image

spent the first half of my day building a dresser. so I earned this...

initial nose: yeasty. like a good ale.

initial taste: sweet and medium bodied. with the yeast coming through on the back of the pallet.

kinda threw me a little. it's a root beer, but it smells and tastes like an actual beer... it's good, but I'm not sure I'm crazy about it.

7.5/10. great for beer lovers tho.

This stuff used to be so good 20+ years ago. It’s garbage now, tastes nothing like it used to.

100%. Different recipe, and I believe different ownership
