A new flavor to try from Dublin, this time a classic root beer. I've discussed Dublin sodas a few times now, so refer to prior posts for more about them. I happened to pick up this bottle at a Buc-ee's outside of Waco somewhere.
The bottle has a nice old-fashioned creamy smell to it so I'm anticipating good things. After a couple of draws off the bottle I'm feeling underwhelmed. I know they use cane sugar, which typically gives a rounded sweetness in comparison to high fructose corn syrup, but this just seems rather weak. The level of carbonation is right, but I want something more of a root beer flavor "snap" and this is a bit soft. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine root beer, but when I consider the number of other root beers I've tasted I don't think this is one I'd reach for over the others if they were all stocked together in my fridge. So, my recommendation would be to skip over this and grab one of Dublin's other flavors.
