besides being a little too sweet, this is pretty much generic root beer. i had hoped for more since the sarsaparilla was kind of unique. alas. just a normal root beer. not even actually, the bar has been raised. this falls short. sad almost. but it was 6 / $1.50 so i don’t care so much.

this really tastes like bark. which may just be what sarsaprilla originally tasted like, but today it does not. i don’t like this at all, yet i am strangely attracted to it. i had a can of it a few months ago and the familiar feeling is returning to my stomach. maybe it has grown on me but i just feel like it will make me poo or something.

yet another store brand soda… wait though it is really good! i love minty birch beers and this is quite minty. my girlfriend had a slightly minty birch beer (Pennsylvania Dutch brown) a coupel days ago since there was a 2 liter bottle in the fridge and started yelping about how it is like a wint-o-green or something, so i had her try this but she thinks it tastes like nothing. oh well. i enjoy it. or i did for the first 1/2 of the can, now it is sort of losing its taste. i would say this is more of a “gulping” birch beer since when i just drink it slowly, it gets flavor-less. and there it loses points.

to be honest, this is much better than their regular root beer. a somewhat toned down taste, but not bad. and it is nutritious, 100% vitamin C, 50% Vitamin E, and 25% Vitamin A. plus ginseng, which i don’t care much about either way. it is a little acid-y i guess. but not a bad drink.
Ingredients:filtered carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup sweetener, brewed Chinese ginseng, natural root beer flavor, caramel color (from fructose), citric acid, ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and beta carotene
