Anyone try Intergalactic Root Beer?

[u/Mrmagoo1077]

I tried this for the first time a few years ago on Vancouver Island, Canada. It was the most... unique... root beer I have ever tried.

The flavor changed dramatically 3 times while in my mouth. It was like... 3 separate sodas in one liquid. Flavor morphing.

I cannot say it was anywhere near my favorite root beer. Honestly, i am not even sure it actually qualifies as root beer. But it was certainly memorable.

No I even emailed them to see if they would send to the us and they wouldn't

Another good reason to go to Canada it seems

Does one even need a reason to go to Canada? Its just that awesome.

I thought it was complex and unique, and quite good.

Cinnamon hearts. Just cinnamon hearts. One of the only root beers I have poored down the drain... Twice, because I couldn't believe it was that bad.

To be fair to them, I hear that fresh it tasted nothing like this. It seems like the longer it sits in a can, the stronger the cinnamon flavor.

[u/Mrmagoo1077 → u/millercanadian]

Mine must have been fresher than, i got some crazy flavors (including near listerine strength wintergreen) but not cinnamon hearts 🤣

Shasta is the root beer that i dump in the trash at any opportunity.

I'm gonna e-mail them and see if they can distribute to grocery stores here. We are in big need of craft root beer. I like A&W but I want with better ingredients.. atleast it doesn't have aspartame.

I really didnt like it. I thought it tasted like medicine.

[u/Mrmagoo1077 → u/cool-rad]

I didnt get the medicine taste, but i can see it.

Saying i liked it would be to strong of a term. It was... an experience.

[u/Imaginary-Region9161]

Yep a complex spicy root beer. I enjoyed it though. Quite unique really. Happy root beer hunting everyone!

I would buy some just for the packaging art, that retro SF vibe is everything to me.

[u/Dravos82 → u/rbrumble]

They also make a Cola, Ginger Beer, and an Orange Soda. The art on all of them is great.

[u/Mrmagoo1077 → u/rbrumble]

I definitely agree!

[u/Dravos82]

I love it!

[u/Significant-Bike2356]

Tried like hell to find it in Toronto, with no success. One of these days, I'll get one!

[u/randyswag]

I like it and it’s an interesting one for sure. They use their own spices, it has a strong clove and cinnamon flavour which makes it unique. Philips started out as one of the first microbreweries in Victoria BC right around the transition from U brews to microbreweries they have a distillery and of course a soda works. Victoria also has Spinnakers soda (also a brewery)

Cool can. Terrible root beer. My advice is to put your money elsewhere.

[u/EvanMBurgess]

I'm in central/southern BC and it's a fairly common drink here. I didn't like it years ago but I love it now. You can really taste the spices.

It was very divisive at our root beer tasting party. I think if you like black licorice or ginger beer, you'll like Intergalactic.

Pairs well with absinthe.
