It is thought that modern, carbonated root beer was originally inspired by the non-carbonated medicinal root teas made by Indigenous North Americans. Although such teas were made from any number of fragrant leaves, roots, barks, fruits, and flowers, the plants sassafras, wintergreen, and sarsaparilla were commonly used, and these three ingredients would define commercial root beer's flavor.. The flavor of root beer is very complex and much debated since most manufacturers use completely different recipes to make root beer. Unlike cream soda or ginger ale, which have set recipes, root beer is very versatile. That is why some people absolutely hate it, while others cannot get enough. As we have already said, it is a flavor you are.

With a smooth, creamy texture and a bold flavor, Maine Root's root beer is a crowd-pleaser among soda enthusiasts. 13. Hosmer Root Beer. With over 100 years of experience brewing craft sodas, Hosmer is a beloved brand among soda enthusiasts. Their root beer is made with pure cane sugar and a blend of natural flavors, including sarsaparilla.. On the whole, root beer is generally sweet-tasting. But sarsaparilla root and/or sassafras used have a bitter taste that is somewhat minty. To compensate for that bitter flavor, root beer usually has sugar (high fructose corn syrup or molasses) added. Still, lots of root beers maintain that distinctive slight bitter taste.
