if you are going to make a root beer taste like licquorice, it should be like this one. i don’t know if i would choose to do such a thing but i honestly am quite a big fan of how they pulled this off. not strong or overpowering or anything, but it is definitely there and you taste it. a very enjoyable root beer that does not have the generic or usual taste to it. and it has a really nice head on it. creamy and smooth all the way.

i think this got opened a bit when i was transporting it from Po-town, so there may actually be more of a head to it than i got from this bottle. anyhow, “this is one darn good birch beer” were the first words out of my mouth after i swallowed this. sweet, but not overly so, a hint of wintergreen. maybe it could use a bit more of that. but it is definitely one of the best birch beers i have ever had.

i would say this is a decent birch beer. nonetheless the flavor is a bit hard to find, as with most clear birch beers, but it stands out more with this one than with the others. it is a nice wintergreen taste at that, which i find really tasty in a birch beer. so if you are looking for a fine clear birch beer that you can actually taste, i’d go for this one.

strangely, this is a million times better than the root beer… that is a good thing since that stuff was toxic i think. it is not the tastiest thing ever or anything but it is pretty good. quite sweet, yet it has a little bit of a different taste, the vanilla and wintergreen i guess combining together.
