Poppi's Root Beer delivers classic root beer flavor with prominent sarsaparilla notes, though it takes a less sweet approach than traditional root beer.

The flavor is recognizably root beer with that characteristic earthy, herbal quality, but some reviewers note that the apple cider vinegar is more detectable in this flavor than others—adding a slight sour aftertaste. While it's not everyone's favorite Poppi flavor, root beer fans who don't mind a less sugary version with a bit of tang find it refreshing and satisfying.

At 25 calories with gut health benefits, it's still miles better than regular root beer's 150+ calories.
