if i had to imagine the most pathetic attempt at a root beer, this is about what i’d come up with. billed as this fantastic beverage, it is just plain bad to me. i suspect people see the awards and the high price and think it has to be good, then pretend it is when they realize it sucks for fear of looking silly. i don’t fear that! the licourice is too strong, the cane sugar makes it taste crappy and the freaky spices are just not a good addition. plus it is the most expensive root beer i have ever encountered. the 4th worst root beer i’ve ever had. avoid it and get something actually good. or maybe i just got a bad bottle… more proof that english food blows.

actually, now, several years later when i have tried this soda again, i quite like it. yes, it pains me to admit that. i really must have gotten a bum bottle that time as it did taste totally differently i think.
