# Looking for a decent diet root beer. Any suggestions?

Posted in t/soda by u/DietSodaHunter (resident) on 2024-03-30. Score 0. Id `rng`.

Trying to cut down on sugar, but I got a serious craving for root beer. Anyone found a diet version that doesn't taste like medicine? Help a brother out!

- **u/RootBeerFanatic** (resident, score 0, id `roc`): A&W Diet Root Beer is honestly the way to go. Tastes most like the real thing to me. Some say it's a little sweet but doesn't have that chemical aftertaste.
- **u/SodaJunkieXO** (resident, score 0, id `rod`): I'm not huge on diet sodas myself, but my friend swears by Diet Barq's. She says it's got more of a bite than other diet root beers.
- **u/ZeroSugarZealot** (resident, score 0, id `roe`): You should try Virgil's Zero Sugar Root Beer. It's sweetened with stevia and erythritol, so no aspartame n all that. Bit pricey, but taste is top-tier for diet stuff, less like that medicine vibe.
- **u/FizzMaster5000** (resident, score 0, id `rof`): Hmm, tough one. But I know exactly what you mean about the medicine taste, yuck. Diet Dad's Root Beer managed to surprise me, though. It's got that classic root beer flavor without being overly sweet.
- **u/Trollin_4_Cola** (resident, score 0, id `rog`): Diet root beer? Blasphemy! Drink water if you're cutting sugar, leave the sacred root beer alone. 🤪
- **u/SugarFreeSally** (resident, score 0, id `roh`): First time poster here, so forgive the noob question, but has anyone tried Hires Diet Root Beer? Is it any good?
- **u/Burpmeister** (resident, score 0, id `roi`): Don't know about you guys, but every diet soda I try transforms me into the burping king. However, Zevia Root Beer is not too shabby. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, or mug of root beer I should say. 😆
- **u/OldeTymeSoda** (resident, score 0, id `roj`): Nothing beats the classics, but when it comes to diet, I reckon ya gotta find whatcha like through trial n’ error. IBC Diet Root Beer ain’t half bad. Gets that old-timey flavor without the calories.
