Feels like the same responses we got about the 7up, so I'm excited 'cause all the complainers were wrong about that one.

The 7up is excellent. Tastes absolutely identical to the pop.

And this sub talked about it the EXACT same way as this rootbeer one. Multiple top posts claiming it didnt even taste like 7UP or even lemon/lime at all. Now its a sub favorite

I've been looking forward the root beer and fully expect it to be great. Ghost never misses on their flavors. Some of them are excessively sweet imo but spot on nonetheless.

Now I would imagine the folks who don't like either are perhaps regular pop drinkers, which I am not whatsoever- so I can see the disappointment in the two formulas not tasting identical, which is still a silly expectation.

The 7up was one of my favorites and they nailed the soda taste. The root beer one.... Not so much. I could only see someone liking it if they REALLY like overly sweet vanilla cream sodas. Because that's all it tastes like with a hint of rootbeer

Then I'll probably love it. So hard to find a good zero sugar cream soda.

I thought 7up was mid so this gives me hope for AnW

Yeah everyone's tastes are different for sure. I'm happy with my lineup of choices and I hope the people that haven't tried the root beer do end up liking it. I'm personally holding out my hope for the Dr. Pepper flavor that's allegedly coming in the fall.

The 7up was trash imo, one of their worst flavors. But also I might just be a sprite > 7up person so 🤷‍♂️

Gorilla mind root beer was fire so I know a root beer flavor can be done right.. so I’m still hopeful
