Sounds nasty. For beer the more sour the better. In fact the very best is sour beer but it’s expensive because it is aged for two years in used wine, bourbon or what have you barrels.

I would LOVE to try Root Beer with alcohol. I am 100% sure it is not the same as spiking a non-alcoholic one.

Had some at my daughter’s pool party the other night.
Too strong for me.
I’m old and wimpy.

The millenials seemed to love it.

I can attest to the awesomeness of this beverage, it has a 9% alcohol rate higher than beer, and it goes great with a scoop of ice cream. Unfortunately, I’m on a diet right now, so I have to wait for Sunday to roll around to crack open one of those babies.

I’ve tried one; it was cloyingly sweet. Couldn’t finish it.

At 19.5 percent ABV, one would kick my tea-totaling butt.

It tastes like root beer, which is my favorite soda. I love this stuff, especially with a scoop of ice cream!

Sprechers makes a Hard root beer at around 5% and also make a hard ginger ale. I’ve had smalltowns stuff. They have a 5.9%, 10.7% and then the 19.5%
