A&W Rootbeer Float in a bottle- close but no cigar

A&W Rootbeer Float in a bottleA&W’s my favorite root beer so I was excited to try their new ready-made ice cream float! I picked up a bottle at a convenience store nearby. It was unexpectedly creamy and tastes like they bottled it after all the ice cream melted. Which actually would make sense because at that point the pop would’ve lost most of it’s carbonation and the bottled stuff tastes only lightly carbonated.

It was definitely tasty, but I don’t think they quite hit the “just like the real thing” meter. I think it was the “artificial ice cream flavor”, which I’m pretty sure is just vanilla extract laid on thickly. There’s also an after taste, that’s some mix of vanilla extract and cream. I bet that’s supposed to be the foam from a real float, but then again it also reminds me of Yoo-Hoo which is a step in a random direction.

Overall I call it a yummy, creamy drink in it’s own right, but it really isn’t very float-like.

    I disagree strongly. Nothing against your opinion buddy but I believe they “hit the nail on it’s head” with this A & W float. Your being a little too picky. Don’t discourage anyone from wanting to try it. I have only had it a few time but each time I take a nice gulp of it, I can’t seem to remember where I am. It hit’s the spot better than one from A & W themselves. Perfectly done. If I wasn’t training to be in a marathon I’d have a pack a day like a chain smoker. Thank you very much A & W!
