So Duh!

Here we have another modern root beer wrapped up in a gimmicky ad campaign. Proclaiming to be "soda with an attitude," So Duh! features a ditzy blonde on their bottle and the hip label of "Rockin' Root Beer." The ingredients feature cane sugar, natural vanilla, and the star of the show, "alfalfa honey," whatever that may be. But here, we judge on taste, not cuteness, so let's get going.

John: Wow, this is a bold root beer. That alfalfa honey is no joke: the sweet honey taste is prominent and adds a depth to the texture that murders the other honey root beers (e.g. Sprecher's, Point). Rich, creamy, thick in body, deep in flavor, and very sweet, this is a sumptuous, delightful root beer. The vanilla flavor is barely present, and no mints or herbs at all--honeycombs rule the day. The aftertaste is almost sweeter than the liquid, yet not unpleasant. I hate to hand out four star ratings to just anything, but So Duh! is definitely high quality. ****

FRED: A GOOD FLAVORFULL ROOT BEER. SLIGHTLY SWEET AND UNIQUE. ****
