Sparky's Fresh Draft Root Beer


Sparky's Root Beer, out of Monterey, California, claims to be "leading the Root Beer Revival," with their homemade, kettle-brewed root beer. They brew with pure cane sugar, honey, and "natural ingredients."

John: The scent when you open the bottle is powerful and sweet. A great smelling root beer. This is a different tasting beverage. The honey gives it a full body and considerable sweetness, but the sweetness is offset by other spices, such as fennel and peppermint. A hint of eucalyptus extract suggests the California Coast. This is a great dessert beverage, in small doses. But an entire bottle is a challenge. A powerfully individualistic root beer. ***

Jo: Not only can I handle Sparky’s, I can handle a whole bottle and enjoy it. So take that bro. I liked the smooth honey vanilla flavor, and pungent root beer scent. My custom blend would have a little less honey flavor, but it was very unique, and good. ***

FRED: STRONG ANISE WITH SWEETNESS OF HONEY. LONG AFTERTASTE. HARD TO TAKE TOO MUCH. **
