probably the 2nd worst beverage i have ever had. this is a bit better, but just tastes like crud. way too overpowered by the cane sugar used in it and all of the random other things like sassafras and anise thrown in for some odd reason. it bears exceedingly little resemblance to actual root beer in my book and should not be claimed as such.
Ingredients:sparkling purified water, natural sweetener blend (unrefined cane sugar, brown rice syrup, honey, barley malt), root and spice brew (water, sassafras root bark, star anise, mixed herb blend) phosphoric acid, natural flavors

this is probably the worst beverage i have ever drank and i have drank some nasty stuff in my time. tastes like a jar of potporri was accidently spilled into an ok birch beer and they decided to leave it there. i can find nothing good to say about this other than that the label is pretty nice looking. do not fall for the deception though! inside lurks something bad.

quite fizzy but no foam, kinda weird. otherwise this is not a bad root beer. i guess a bit generic in a few ways, but at 5 for a dollar, you can’t go wrong with this. a nice taste, good bite to it and just plain, straight out root beer.

overall this is an average root beer. but it has this carmel taste to it that is more overwhelming than normal. although i kind of like that. yet, it still is pretty average.
