Beaver Soda

This is new in town.

I liked the can, it was modern like Red Bull but with a vintage baseball motif for an old school vibe.

Weirdly, the pull tab is black so, when seen from any distance, the can looks like it's already open. "Who opened my Beaver Root Beer?" I kept asking myself when I'd see it in the fridge.

The head was not much to write home about, but the colour was nice and dark. The carbonation was strong. The taste is pretty far out, with lots of herb flavour. In fact, I kind of had a gustatory hallucination. (it's real, look it up) Imagine eating a dill pickle chip. Now imagine taking a drink of cola. For a moment you're tasting both dill and cola. Replace the dill with coriander and you get the idea. Kind of weird but I enjoyed it.


Packaging: A
Head: C
Carbonation: A
Taste: B
Final Grade: B+ (the + is for originality)

  1. I liked it, but I agree it was weird. Kinda reminded me of Brio.

  2. Definitely in the Brio realm. I think Brio has quinine (like in Tonic Water) and oregano.
