Anyone who lived through the ’80’s is familiar with Judge Wapner. He was iconic. The movie Rain Man even more cemented him into TV immortality with the autistic genius fixated on getting his daily Wapner. I must confess, however, I never once watched The People’s Court. I would wait until it was over everyday and the after school cartoons would come on followed by the original Star Trek. Nevertheless, I got very excited when I saw this, and all I could think about before I reviewed it was Dustin Hoffman counting down the minutes to Wapner. Also, the bottle is a cool smoky color instead of the normal clear or brown which is a nice change for my root beer bottle collection.
The Body is kind of watery and sort of fruity, maybe a little too much citric acid in it? The Bite is harsh from carbonation but very lacking in spices. Clearly, the Honorable Judge is reminding you just who is in charge here. The Head is a medium height but not overly frothy. It goes away all too quickly. The Aftertaste is a light fruity type flavor that is rather empty like the Body.
So this is pretty lacking in all departments but not horrible. Like most of the other commemorative root beers it is strong on its theme but rather weak in its root beer qualities. Quoth the bottle “I sentence you to drink my root beer.” A tough sentence indeed, but I wouldn’t call it cruel and unusual punishment. See how it rates against other root beers.
My 100th root beer review! Since this is such a milestone I definitely need to try a killer root beer, so I’ve got Killerbrew. Wait, it’s actually Killebrew. Killebrew? What’s a Killebrew? Harmon “Killer” Killebrew (see I wasn’t the only one to do that) is a former baseball player who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1984. According to the website on the bottle, they stopped having a website since it’s one of those generic ad search engine parked sites. As an aside, why do they DO that? I mean, if you’re going to go all the way of putting the website URL on the bottle, can’t you even afford $10 a year to keep the domain name? They give you a free 1 page website with it. You could say something about who you are or how great your root beer is. As you can tell, this has been happening a lot to me lately. Anyways. It seems that the great Killer’s son actually makes this one and not the immortal Hall of Famer himself. I suppose with a name like Killebrew brewing was just too irresistible. 
Wow! That’s quite a name and an assertion they’ve got going. I mean, you’ll get old time root beers, and draft root beers, and even the occasional quality root beer, but more than one of those three on the same title? And not only that but all three no less. Well, it has been in continuous business for almost 90 years. If they haven’t changed the recipe at all then it would be old time. It must be of some quality in order to stay around for that long. Draft, well, I’ll see about that.
