Zero Sugar Soda, Creamy Root Beer, 12 oz Cans (8-Pack) – Naturally Sweetened, Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, Vegan

I like most to all of the Zevia flavors. There are a few flavors I stick to though. One of which was the Creamy Root Beer. When it first came out I was thrilled. It was so much better than the ginger root beer; it became a frequent purchase. I just bought a pack though, after a little while, and holy sarsaparilla is the flavor different. It's no longer the classic creamy root beer flavor, like A&W. It's honestly overwhelming and unpleasant. The sarsaparilla flavor is so so strong that in conjunction with the stevia, it's almost sickly sweet. It wasn't like this before. I'm disappointed 'cause I'd been looking forward to it, and I'm sad that I spent money on it, especially with the price it is now. I'm still leaving a rating of 5 because the other flavors I buy are still enjoyable, but stay away from Creamy Root Beer, unless you enjoy being punched in the face by the huge fist of sarsaparilla.

I love zevia sodas. It has the healthy sugar substitute with no after taste. It taste like a rootbeer float. I also like the ginger beer and the cream soda! The coke and Dr Pepper substitute taste nothing like the real thing to me, but these three are favorites so I subscribe and save of course! I’ve had to go to every two weeks instead of once a month, since I do miss them and only drink herbal teas and water otherwise.

This is a tasty drink. I love the root beer flavor. Just the right amount of fizz. I now use it in my water at work to drink more water. I have bought the case with a variety of flavors.

This is a great tasting, healthier root beer option. We used this together with a non-dairy, no-sugar-added vanilla ice cream substitute for some frothy, milky colored, root beer floats for our grandkids with various dietary restrictions. We were really surprised that the clear, colorless, bubbly nectar coming from these cans tasted so wonderfully and surprisingly true to our favorite root beer.

I bought Zevia Creamy Root Beer hoping for a decent zero-sugar option, especially since it's marketed as a "rich, creamy" twist on classic root beer with natural flavors and stevia. Big mistake. This is hands-down the worst root beer I've ever had, and I've tried a lot. First off, the clear color didn't bother me at all—I've had other clear sodas and that's fine. The real problem is the flavor (or total lack of it). There is zero recognizable root beer taste here. No sassafras, no wintergreen, no caramel, nothing that even remotely reminds you of actual root beer. Instead, it's this weird, creamy, lightly medicinal fizz that tastes disturbingly like sparkling castor oil mixed with a hint of generic sweetness. It's flat, artificial-tasting, and leaves a bizarre, off-putting aftertaste that lingers way too long. The "creamy" part feels forced—it's more like a vague vanilla-lite slickness than anything enjoyable or nostalgic. I forced down half a can hoping it would get better as it warmed up, but nope. It just got worse. I can't believe I actually paid money for this swill. It's not just disappointing; it's actively bad and made me regret every sip. If you're looking for a zero-sugar root beer that actually tastes like root beer, steer clear of this one. Zevia might work for some people who like super-mild or stevia-heavy drinks, but for anyone who wants real root beer flavor, this is a hard pass. Never again—not ever—will I buy or recommend this terrible product. Save your money and go for something else. 1/5 stars, and that's generous only because it was at least it was carbonated.
