Cream Soda Taste Test

 
I'm a cream soda lover so I thought I'd collect as many different brands of this wonderful drink as I could get my hands on and determine which one's were the very best...and worst.
 
Rating system: 0-5 stars
(Sodas are listed in alphabetical order)
 

 
 
A&W Cream Soda: *** 1/2
                                  This is the one you can find on almost every gas station and grocery store shelf.
                                  And for good reason. It has a nice blend of all the key cream soda ingredients.

A.J. Stephan's Cream Soda: ***
                                                The can sugar taste is very apparent. All of the ingredients go together
                                                well for a nice taste.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

 
Barq's Red Crème Soda: ****1/2
                                             Has a very unique and delicious taste.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
 

Boylan Crème: ***
                             A little on the sweet side but the tasty cream flavor makes up for it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

 
Dad's Cream Soda: ***
                          Has a nice blend. The prototypical cream soda.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Dad's Blue Cream Soda: **1/2
                                          Has a decent blue flavor but no cream taste.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

 
Dad's Orange Cream Soda: **1/2
                                            Nice orange flavor. Tastes like an orange creamsicle, without the cream. 
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

                                               
Dad's Red Cream Soda: **1/2
                                         Has a decent red flavor but no cream taste.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________

 
 
Dang! That's Good Red Cream Soda: **
                                                            It has an undesirable after taste.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________


 
Death Valley Cream Soda: *1/2
                                            The ingredients just don't come together well.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
 Dr. Brown's Cream Soda: *

___________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Faygo Rock & Rye Cream Cola: ****
                                                        Has a bold cream taste that really compliments the cherry flavor.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________


Faygo Vanilla Crème Soda: **
                                              Basic vanilla flavor. The after taste isn't very appealing.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
 

Fitz's Cream Soda: **1/2
                                  Average cream soda with decent cane sugar flavor.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Frostop Vanilla Caramel Crème Soda: 1/2
                                                           The only reason I gave it half a star was because of the creative
                                                           artwork. The idea of making a caramel flavored cream soda was
                                                           a really really bad one.

Henry Weinhard's Vanilla Cream: ***1/2

___________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Olde Brooklyn Coney Island Cream Soda: ***1/2
                                                                      It has a very pleasant overall taste without leaning

                                         It'd be hard to imagine a better cream soda than this, the cream flavor is
