strangely enough, i mailordered a case of this just a couple of weeks before i went to Maine for vacation. it turned out to be a good thing since i did not see any of this root beer while i was there anyhow. unfortunately it tastes like nothing. for real. it is pretty much carbonated water to me. nope, nothing. that isn’t BAD so much i guess. i’d rather something tasted like nothing than that it tasted bad but i now have a case of tasteless root beer to drink. perhaps i just get a bad bottle and my next one will be good. in which case, i will add to this review. i doubt that though. if this is “Bar Harbour’s favorite” then i pity the people from Maine even more than i did before. no, wait, i do taste a little bit of yummy sweetness now that i am almost done. alright, maybe my palette was not clear enough or something. that raises my rating a little.
ok, now it is a bit later and i have had more and it is actually quite tasty. creamy, sweet, root beer yummyness. i am glad that is the case. so i will up my rating from a 54.
