Zevia Zero Sugar Soda, Creamy Root Beer, 12 oz Cans (24-Pack) – Naturally Sweetened, Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, Vegan

I started drinking Zevia sodas about three years ago when I read concerns about aspartame used as a sugar substitute in traditional diet sodas.These Zevia drinks contain no Sugar and no aspartame. They are sweetened by Stevia Extract, made from the natural leaf of a plant. I've tried about five different flavors and this Creamy Root Beer is one of my two favorites. It is a mild root beer flavor, easy to sip. I really like that it's caffeine-free! No staying awake at night. I read that some people complain about a Stevia Extract aftertaste which I notice in the Zevia Cola but not this Root Beer. And, so far no studies have raised huge concerns about stevia leaf extract. Zevia drinks are more expensive than traditional diet sodas, but I find pretty good deals on these Creamy Root Beers if I buy a case of 24 on Amazon.

I have ordered this a few times now, and the more that I drink it, the more that I really love it. Now, I do have a favorite root beer (Boylan Bottling Natural Root Beer Soda), however I don't always have $50 to get it. It is what it is, and I just got to make do. It was either a choice of this (Zevia) brand, or another cheaper alternative. It was the "creamy" part of the description that made me want to try this one. Now, when I got them, I did try one next day (after putting some in the fridge). It was surprizingly, really, really good! And, there most definitely was no aftertaste. It was super "creamy", and very delicious! Kind of related (sorry for TMI), but I do (or, did) suffer chronic constipation. My doctor had me not take any more OTC laxatives as they were making my situation far more worse (as in, they just weren't working). So, a few years ago, he started prescribing me Sorbitol (this is a sickeningly overtly-sweet sweetener/ laxative). This stuff tasted so nasty, and I had the hardest time downing a dose. Enter in, Zevia... I was not at all, expecting any (medicinal) results from drinking Zevia. It tasted relatively good, so I was happy. But, within just half a can of consumption, I found myself running to the bathroom. Like every single day, half a can, and I just had to go immediately! So, I decided to look up "stevia", as I had never had that, and found out that it is in fact a natural sweetener. So, if you have a sensitivity to natural sweeteners as apparently like I do, you may want to counter in that fact, before you buy it. Now, I am usually at home (at any given time) regardless, so I prefer to still drink this (almost daily) for how it helps to correct my chronic problem, as I seem to no longer suffer it now while drinking Zevia. Sorbitol, is not recommended to take every day, only as needed. So, with drinking just a half can of Zevia, and I'm going that same day, well I can honestly say that I have not been constipated for months. Now, I recommend drinking this straight from the can, I drink half and then put plastic wrap over the top and will drink this next day. I say this, about drinking from the can directly, because the color of it is very off-putting, I mean if you are used to drinking (normal) root beer. When you pour Zevia into a cup/ or, glass, it is crystal clear. And, I feel like I'm not drinking root beer, which then (kind of) mars the taste for me. If you suffer chronic constipation, I'd recommend giving this a go, as it tastes a million times better than just straight up Sorbitol. All in all, I'm really glad I tried this, as it is now a permanent staple in my diet.

What can I say about this product? I can say that I love this brand, these actually taste just like the real soda, but much better on your health with no sugar. I highly recommend them.

I’m giving this 5 stars just so others can see the truth about the new taste, especially if they’ve read the previous “good” reviews. Unfortunately, the flavor is not what it used to be. For me, that might actually be a good thing, though. I was so addicted to this soda (Creamy Root Beer) I was thinking about entering rehab lol! But with the new formula, I’m no longer tempted. It’s just not the same. But that's not all, keep reading... The new flavor is honestly pretty gross. I can clearly taste the stevia now, and it has this weird black licorice taste to it. It also tastes like more soda and less root beer. It honestly reminds me of when Coca-Cola changed their formula, and it ruined the drink for a lot of people. I will not buy this soda again.... Very IMPORTANT- after coming here to read the reviews to see what the heck changed with this soda, I now know why my STOMACH has been bothering me recently. Due to stomach comfort from Stevia. Who knew it was bad for your GI tract.. I am definitely not buying this again.

Zevia’s Creamy Root Beer is absolutely the main character of their whole lineup. All the other flavors are like “hey, we’re here too,” but this one shows up with confidence, smooth vibes, and that nostalgic root‑beer‑float energy without the sugar crash. It’s rich, it’s creamy, it’s the flavor that actually tastes like what it claims to be — which is rare in zero‑sugar land. Everything else in the pack is fine, but this one? This one carries the brand on its fizzy little shoulders. Only downside: it’s still Zevia, so the carbonation can be a little chaotic and the sweetness hits different depending on your mood. But overall, it’s the best of the bunch. Verdict: Creamy, nostalgic, and easily the top flavor in the lineup.
