a very fine drink. smooth going down without being overly powerful. if this beverage has any fault, it is that the flavor is just a hint too weak. but that is not really a problem. a great looking bottle design also. what a root beer should be in my mind.

Ingredients: filtered carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate (a preservative), quillaia and yucca extracts, citric acid and acacia

For the past half dozen years or so, I’ve tried every commercial glass bottled brand of root beer I can find in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Hank’s Root Beer is the very best I’ve found.

[The only better root beers I've found local to me are the draft root beers at Franklin's Restaurant (Hyattsville, Md.) and the A&W Restaurant chain. I love the creaminess of *draft* A&W in a frosted glass.]
