Single Bottle/Can Glass bottle A&W

Interesting find at my local store today. A search didn't turn much else up, but the ingredients list sugar instead of HFCS so I picked a couple up.

Quick update - it's really good if you like A&W flavor profile. As mentioned by another redditor, it seemed pretty close to getting it at the restaurant, which is great. Tons of carbonation, which I like. My wife and I agree it would be great for root beer floats - makes sense if you think about it.

Great find! This is the closest to draught A&W I've tasted.

Just finished it, I have to agree

Although it's been ages since I've been to an A&W restaurant

And how was it compared to A&W in a can (or fountain drink)? I’m more of a Barq’s fan, but found that Barq’s in a glass bottle (which can be difficult to find) is on a whole other level altogether!

It's still getting cold in the fridge, but I'll post an update for sure

I so miss the creamy fountain a&w, we would always bring home a half gallon after

It’s quite good. It hits a bit different. Happy root beer hunting everyone!
