so i have had 3 cans of this so far and i still have nothing to say about it. let me see… it has a sort of snappy bite to it, but it just doesn’t impress me much. it is not bad at all, i just had hoped for more i guess. i shouldn’t believe the hype. anyway, rather tasty really, a bit too carbonated though.

this does not have the wacky after taste that most cane sugar root beers seem to have, which is a very good thing. yet, it tastes fairly standard and is just like a normal root beer. which is fine. not bad, but not amazing or anything. i’d definitely drink it more though, of course.
Ingredients:carbonated water, cane sugar, caramel color, root beer flavor, phosphoric acid.

a darn tasty brew here. a classic taste really but it has a bit of a sharp tinge to it that i really enjoy. i could drink a whole load of this but i am sure i will never get to since it is made so far away from me and mailordering it is crazy expensive. yes indeed. but if it is available near you, i’d get it a lot.

this root beer has a definitely subtle cinnamon taste to it. kind of a tastey thing. different at the very least. it is a bit too syrupy for my liking but still a pretty good root beer. too bas i can’t get in near me at all any time soon. alas.
