i have been meaning to order this stuff for a long time and i finally did. i think this is the only root beer (as they claim on the bottle) brewed with Vitamin C and calcium. granted it is less than 1% of your RDA of calcium and only 67.5% of vitamin C but it is still weird. and i think it throws off the flavor. i think the most annoying thing though is that the serving size listed for the nutrition info is 8 oz for this 12 oz bottle. why did they do that?! i had to multiply and even add to figure this stuff out to share with you people! but really, it does not make much sense, perhaps they want to be seen as having less sugar or carbs or something than the competition, but does anyone care that much when you are drinking microbrewed root beer? well, whatever. the soda is a bit watery, but not quite flavorful enough to really be good and not exactly close enough to something refreshingly crisp or whatever. i am disappointed i must admit. now i understand why my dad did not finish the bottle i gave him last week when he visited my house. i thought it would be better. alas, Barrel Brothers, go brew something yummier!
