The root beer flavor is mild, but you can definitely taste the milky flavor coming through. I like it. I don't expect any protein drink to taste like a soda shop drink. These protein drink producers give us "flavor" varieties to help coverup the protein powders and the nutritional additives. So, really, why would anyone expect these protein drinks NOT to have those certain after tastes or chalkiness. I recommend Premiere Protein drinks, no matter what flavor. Just ordered another 12-pack.

I didn't taste anything like a root beer float I'm a root beer float connoisseur. it was more like a vanilla one with less sweetness it was very blah I didn't taste any home brew beer or any kind of anything that tastes close to a river flow. It was okay wasn't worth $26 for 12 of them

Two concerns: 1st. Didn't appreciate the package wrapping as it was difficult to open. 2nd. The flavor of Root Beer was almost nonexistent, not done as well as you do with the Peaches and Cream, which I think is Great. Needs improvement, but probably will be discontinued.

I LOVE when I’m able to get my hands on these! I’ve had gastric sleeve surgery and cannot stop the weight loss now, I found these shortly after my surgery and fell in love with them, now I grab them any chance that I can so that I can get all the protein in that I can.

I love the Premier Protein Shakes, favorite is Choc. & Winter Mint Choc. I've had other flavors, Vanilla, Carmel. I was very disappointed in this new flavor - Rootbeer Float. I took several drinks to give it a chance, but it was awful. This is not Sam's Clubs fault. But in my opinion, I would not recommend this flavor.

I was excited to try this after reading so many good reviews. What a disappointment! To me, it tasted like what I'd imagine rootbeer mixed with baby formula would taste like. I couldn't get past the first 2 sips. I gave some to three other people, and none of them like it either. I will be sticking with chocolate peanut butter!

They tasted amazing when I purchased in the store. When I purchased online at walmart.com . After shaking. There was curdled material throughout the shake.Making then horrible to drink. They tasted horrible like medicine. Not the same taste flavor or quality. Like I purchased in store.

I really liked these. To me they’re more like if you made a float with a Barq’s, rather than an A%26W. By that I mean a bit more sharp than creamy - but still creamy, of course, because it’s a protein shake, lol. I’m not sure how often I’ll buy them because they’re even more expensive than the regular flavors, but for an occasional treat they’re delicious.

It's not as creamy as the other Premier Protein shakes (thin-ish like RootBeer), but has a cinamon type of flavor in it. Too early to give it a 5-star rating. I've had the first bottle of the 12-pak. It's more expensive than the Equate Protein shakes.

This doesn’t taste like a root beer float, it’s got a weird aftertaste. I literally added a root beer flavor packet to it so I could stomach it and try not to feel bad about spending $30 on a whole case of them. It’s a shame since root beer floats are my favorite dessert.
