Root beer used to be commonly mildly alcoholic (.5-1%). We made traditional root beer in my AP bio class in high school, and weren’t allowed to drink it because of the alcohol
The teacher was pretty cool, so I feel like she would have let us try it, but I’ve never met a science teacher who doesn’t have a viscerally negative reaction to the idea of eating something made in a lab. Honestly, the alcohol was probably an excuse

Damn, how they gonna have you make a consumable product in class and not even allow you to taste it?

Fair enough, teacher basically covering her own ass. Still, it couldn’t be any more alcohol than a sip of cough syrup just to taste it…
