even for a generic root beer this is not so good. just tastes so false and chemical. not all that different from many other huge brands, but enough so that i would pay the extra few cents and get an A&W or something similiar.

this is not really even root beer, and was not intended to be until Coke bought it and claimed it was. ( more info) that “bite” isn’t much of anything either. probably the dumb caffeine or something. i dunno, sometimes i am into Barq’s but not usually. it is probably my last choice among major and most minor root beers. yes, the Barq’s i get has caffeine! perhaps some places in the US or abroad it does not, but here it does. actually the “real” Barq’s is quite tasty and i always get it when i go to New Orleans or the vicinity, that seems like something else entirely to me.
Ingredients:carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sucrose, caramel color, sodium benzoate (to protect taste), citric acid, caffeine, artificial and natural flavors, acacia

i dunno what they are trying to pull here really but this kinda totally sucks. i had it once a while ago and recalled it as being ok, but now that i have found it again (not an easy feat, mind you!!), i remember that it stunk and that i threw it out. yeh, so this is not very good at all. it has this terrible second taste to it that is awful. kinda bitter, kinda just harsh. try it maybe or get some of their good flavors.
