Review - Burley Birch Beer

Bottler: Orca Beverages

Calories per Ounce: 14.2

Caffeine: No

Aaron's Comments: Birch beer is somewhat similar to root beer, although usually with a stronger flavor and not as much vanilla. The "Hippo Size" Burley Birch Beer displays these characteristics quite well, with a rich, almost earthy flavor full of equal parts sweetness and spice. This soda is better without ice, as adding ice diminishes its distinctive spicy flavor and makes the birch beer just a little bit bland. The soda makes for an unexpectedly interesting ice cream float, with the ice cream mellowing out the birch beer but leaving just enough of the spicy flavor to make it satisfying.

Angela's Comments: With ice cream it's like a root beer float without the same edge that a root beer float has.
