Customer Reviews - Root Beer - Soda Extracts - Soda Flavors

I was skeptical about Rainbow's Root Beer Extract which I bought at a brew shop in Spokane, Washington. It was the only extract readily available. I used a champagne yeast and cane sugar. I then placed the bottles on their sides. Three days after bottling, the root beer had effervesced to the point that it was drinkable. At that point I placed the rest of the batch on it's side in the refrigerator. A couple of days after that I opened the second bottle. . What a thrill! It was perfect. To the person each stated that it was "awesome," "the best root beer they had ever tasted", and other accolades.

There is no need to search for a different brand of root beer essence.
If it works, don't fix it.

I had some "Olde Brooklyn" Coney Island cream soda years ago when visiting New York and have been unable to find it locally. I decided that I'd try to make my own and I found this cream soda extract at Keg Outlet.

Making this cream soda was easy. Upon opening the extract bottle I was hit with an overwhelming smell of vanilla/cream soda, but once added to 4 gallons of water the smell mellowed substantially.

After carbonating the keg, I poured myself a glass and actually really liked it. To be 100% honest, I really can't remember what the Olde Brooklyn Coney Island cream soda exactly tasted like, but I do remember LOVING IT! So I'm giving this cream soda extract a 4 of 5, possibly due to the fact that I was not on vacation while drinking it. Overall though, very good soda and easy to make!
