This brew comes from San Diego and is made by 6th generation San Diegans, which is what you call people from San Diego. Who knew? I have some of my own family roots from San Diego area, on my mother\u2019s side. They are also surfers like this root beer depicts. Surfer themed root beers are a favorite of mine so I have high hopes. This is also brewed in small batches, if the text on the label is to be believed. I like a double entendre on the title as well. A swell in the waves or a swell root beer. Though a riptide is a pretty dangerous thing so I don\u2019t know about having a riptide being swell. It is a beach thing so I guess that fits, or maybe they\u2019re just going for alliteration.<\/p>\n<p>The Body is sweet and rich with a lot of vanilla and caramel with a tinge of fruity sarsaparilla. It\u2019s pretty good. The Bite is mild on spice with some prickly carbonation. That said, it isn\u2019t the smoothest. The Head is medium tall but fizzes down too fast. The Aftertaste is vanilla. There\u2019s a hint of that sarsaparilla as well. Overall it\u2019s pretty good, <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d say it\u2019s pretty swell. Not Seal of Approval but swell. This brings an interesting question of how good is swell, is it better than good, slightly worse than excellent? I feel it\u2019s somewhat better than good but not the best. Maybe I\u2019ve been using swell wrong my whole life? Maybe this root beer makes me rethink everything on the word swell, a word I\u2019ve just sort of used without too much thought. Anyways, swell brew.
