Review: Waialua Soda Works Root Beer - Crafted in Hawaii.



Maybe I am too traditional in my thinking, but I never thought I would have a Root Beer from Hawaii. Root Beer to me has been something from the Eastern side of North America. Now this is where I slap myself and am reminded that Root Beer is global.



Popping the cap revealed a sweet smell with a hint of what seems to be vanilla. The pour gave me a super low head; that fizzled away quickly. The taste was sweet with a mix of flavors with vanilla aftertaste, but note; those flavors are hard to pick apart due to how much this drink appears to be watered down. That vanilla flavor is what stands out but is gone faster than it appeared.



Overall this drink needs about double the flavor. It has hints of something good but didn’t deliver in the end. Rating: 6.8
