Sat Oct 09 2010I 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

Sun Jul 11 2010It's decent, a bit too strong of a root beer, for my taste though.

Wed Jun 23 2010Don'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.

Mon May 03 2010May 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.

Mon May 03 2010Aw man, I had it at four stars before reading that it's a Coca-Cola company.

Mon May 03 2010Like 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.

Wed Sep 02 2009Root Beer is Root Beer, I have no preference
by bitchassjosh
Mon Jul 06 2009I 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!

Sun Jun 21 2009Barq'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!

Fri May 22 2009Outstanding root beer. Indeed Barq's IS the one with bite! How root beer should taste.

Mon Feb 16 2009Barq's is the best root beer that is only triumphed by IBC.

Sun Apr 20 2008The Best Root Beer. It also cures my addiction to caffeine!
by mitch70
Thu Mar 27 2008Barqs 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.

Thu Aug 30 2007The root beer is fine but they have the absolute WORST web site ever!!!! No place to ask a question or learn anything important, just stupid pictures geared to a twelve year old
by blueorchid
Mon Aug 06 2007I LOVE it! Just ask Mad Hatter! Barqs definitely has bite!

Mon Jun 18 2007Barq's Is Very Dark And Very Sweet....AAAAAaaaahhhhh. I've been drinking it since I was a little boy out of a glass bottle. It is the real RootBeer!!!!
by sierrasstar
Sun May 20 2007The best i like it better than A@W and mug's it has a different taste that the others dont. It is also my favorite pop period!
by twansalem
Mon May 07 2007It's OK, but I'd rather have A&W.; They're right in that it has bite, but I'd rather it didn't.

Wed Mar 07 2007I was never too crazy about root beer, but whenever i do crave it, i prefer Barq's!

Fri Apr 14 2006Barq'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.

Wed Apr 12 2006Excellent. 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...
by operator_409
Mon Apr 10 2006The one that bites is correct. Hardly qualifies as root beer at all...has a 'grassy' type of taste that is difficult to stomach.
by drummond
Mon Jan 02 2006It's okay. Nothing special.
by mariusqeldroma
Mon Jan 02 2006I 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. :)

Mon Sep 05 2005This root beer is awesome!

Mon Aug 29 2005Like it says on the can: It's good! Never truer words ever spoken in advertising!

Thu Aug 25 2005I don't like this root beer, because it's harsh. I like a&w; because it's smooth.
by paul2505
Sun Aug 21 2005My favorite root beer. Spicier than most other mass market root beers
by minitruckin94t_oy
Thu Apr 28 2005good taste but id rather have a&w; or some other kind
by mrgrimwood
Sun Mar 20 2005Very 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.

Mon Feb 21 2005root beer - good!
by thebarqsman
Tue Feb 15 2005Barq'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. Visit my Barq's website: www.thebarqsman.com or my blog: www.barqs.blogspot.com

Sat Nov 20 2004My 2nd favorite root beer compared to IBC. It has a unique taste that will have you wanting more and more!
by cracar
Fri Nov 05 2004this is by far the best ginger ale out there. the others are poor imitations.
by dragonman
Mon Oct 25 2004This 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.

Wed Aug 18 2004I must say Barq's is my favorite Root Beer
by midlc813
Mon Jul 26 2004Barq'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.....
