wow, i really put off the review of this. well, not as badly as i have done with some sodas in the past i am sure, but i just don’t like diet sodas if you did not realize that already. i am not sure of the sweetener here but i will guess aspertame as it has that bitter aftertaste and doesn’t taste good to begin with. yes, it it gross. look, i just ran 16 miles, and i NEED to refuel and hydrate and i don’t even want to drink this. it is just bitter and bad. no hint of root beer taste that i can find. maybe i let it sit in the fridge too long? i need to cleanse my pallete

ok, i don’t think i have ever seen hops in a non-alcoholic root beer before. curious. or panama bark extract. maybe juniper berries but i am not sure about that. so yeh, this is a unique soda, very complex and multi-layered. the initial taste is different than the flavor that comes after a moment and then the aftertaste vaies from both of those. yeh, really good soda! you are making me think that Cornell may not be a bad choice for law school… i hope i got a six pack of this one. probably did. i suppose the taste may come off as a little bitter but there is enough sweetness in it to balance out in the end. yummy

you know i don’t like diet by now huh? well, this one is ok. for a moment, until the nutrasweet hits you, but even then it is subtle. actually for diet, this is decent. it sort of tastes like birch beer, a slightly minty flavor is going on here with barely any sort of carbonation whatsoever. if i had no choice but to drink diet i might choose this beverage.
