11 - Wild Bill's Root Beer
Wild Bill’s is a veteran-owned and operated soda company since 2002. They have a variety of different drinks to choose from and more soda-related merch too. You can even become a franchisee.
But let’s find out how good the root beer is!
Branding
The Wild Bill company uses a non-standard-sized, non-standard-shaped can for its soda. The root beer is packaged in an energy-drink-style can, which makes it stand out from other root beers.
Now, the colors don’t really stand out, but I liked it anyway because it just looks so different. You have a kind of Red Bull look and feel to the can, but without the red coloring.
Taste and Ingredients
Wild Bill makes a decent root beer. Interestingly, Wild Bill adds juniper, vanilla and licorice as their core flavors. The juniper gives Wild Bill a different flavor, but it isn’t a bad one.
You’ll find the drink low in carbonation and very smooth. While not quite as good as 1919 or as smooth as A&W, Wild Bill is still a nice root beer and if you like either of those, you’ll probably enjoy this one too!
The Wrap Up
In general, I liked Wild Bill’s root beer offering. It was a smooth flavor, and it’s cool that it supports America’s veterans, too.
The only downside is that you probably won’t find it in a store near you. Instead, you will need to purchase it online through Wild Bill’s website, Amazon, or some other online vendor.
