another fine looking bottle here. the flavor is kind of subtle here. a bit sharp, a little wintergreen-ish, very carbonated and sorta creamy. not offensive in any way but not noteworthy really. gets some points for looking rad and making me want to drink it and junk. and i’d get it before a major label root beer, but not the best thing.

Available: discontinued Obtained in: Mail from Stuart
Head: Small Sweetener: sugar

one of the coolest bottles i have seen. very simple, yellow ink silk screened onto the brown bottle. and a really good root beer! kinda light and just refeshing. but sort of a spicey taste happening in the aftertaste. a very unique and good drink here folks. it seems like it is clear but i am too lazy to go to the kitchen and get a glass to pour some in to find out. i am jealous of the good stuff in WI these days! many thanks to Stuart for sending me such great sodas!
