a curiously ginger-ale-esque colour but a fine scent. the aftertaste blows, but this is probably one of the better diet sodas i have had. very light with a rather creamy taste for a diet soda. i don’t think i’d ever get it but if really cared about calories, i might consider it.

the fact that this comes in 32 oz bottles gives it major points with me. it is pure style to be tootin a brown bagged IBC. the 7 oz bottle is freaky but oh well. anyhow, there is that special zing to IBC that you just don’t get from other root beers for some reason. sometimes i love it, sometimes i don’t at all. a bit watery really, but there are some fond memories with IBC. making it better in my mind i think. their black cherry is also hella good!
