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.

Ingredients: carbonated water, pure birch oils, natural flavors, natural yucca extract, vanilla, vanillin, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preserves freshness), sucralose, acesulfame potassium

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!
