    I absoluely love barq's and have so far tried A&W, barq's and mug in terms of American root beer. I'm from the UK and what you get over here is poor at best. Barq's has that lovely refreshing taste you just crave after a long day. Tastes more like root beer than mug although I love both. a&w remains a favourite but barq's is delicious

    It's decent, a bit too strong of a root beer, for my taste though.

    Don't drink this, without a label warning this kind does HAVE a caffeine! Don't let you deceived by Coca-Cola Company. Boycott this brand! I recommend you drink MUG root beer or Culvers root beer from restaurant store location.

    I don't like this root beer, it tastes like tooth paste / mouth wash mix in soda :)

    May 2/2010 (4.5 3 stars ) I really super enjoy Barq's Root beer...so i was a little disappointed when i pulled out of the new case of root beer, a sealed Barq's root beer can which was only about 1/4 full. I was a little disappointed. :( Do you think that i can have a replacement.

    Like it says on the can, it does have that "bite" taste to it that I Like! I loved this rootbeer since I was a 4 yr old kid.

    Root Beer is Root Beer, I have no preference

    I would rate this rot beer above A&W, actually! That's just my personal preference really. It is a little bit more flavorful, but I guess A&W has the history. And when it comes down to it, I would take Hires over all others!

    Barq's is a good root beer. I prefer A&W because its a tad bit creamier than Barq's. I feel Coke products are a little spicy and Barq's follows in the tradition. It's not the best and its not the worst root beer on the market. Some like it better than A&W, but I really like the A&W just a little more!

    Outstanding root beer. Indeed Barq's IS the one with bite! How root beer should taste.

    Barqs is boring. There's nothing redeeming about this drink that makes it any better than any other root beer I've ever tasted. If you the best Root Beer don't bother. Lady Lee from Lucky's is no longer made anymore. Though it looked like a generic brand. It was by far the greatest Root Beer I've ever had.

    It's OK, but I'd rather have A&W.; They're right in that it has bite, but I'd rather it didn't.

    Barq's Root Beer is not only my favorite root beer, it is my favorite soda, period. It has that great root beer flavor, and a notorious bite. I'd reach for that silver can before any other. Great stuff.

    Excellent. Used to drink root beer as a kid but then I went off of it. Tried Barq's in the Navy and was won over. Classic root beer taste but smooooooooth...

    The one that bites is correct. Hardly qualifies as root beer at all...has a 'grassy' type of taste that is difficult to stomach.

    I rather enjoy the bite this root beer has. Good by itself or as a float, on a par with A&W.; About the only ones better are the more expensive bottled in glass root beers like IBC. :)

    I don't like this root beer, because it's harsh. I like a&w; because it's smooth.

    Very good in a can or fountain. I'd rather swallow my own barf before drinking this from a plasitc bottle though. I give it four stars for that reason alone; otherwise it would have been a five. Definately my favorite common RootBeer. not as good as the premium glass bottled rootbeers though.

    Barq's is my beer of choice for many reasons. One is because of it's contrast to A&W.; I grew up drinking A&W;, and when Barq's moved west in 1990, I had my first taste and have been drinking nothing but Barq's since.

    This is a good rootbeer, better than A&W; but there are some other more expensive rootbeers out there that are better. This is the best mainstream rootbeers.

    Barq's is unique! No messy foam, but better than normal root beer taste. Some argue that is why it is not root beer. However, when I was a kid, sitting on my grandmother's front steps drinking a cold Barq's straight from the (glass) bottle was a treat! Now, if only I could find Pop Rouge for sale in the mid-west.....
