it is ok. i mean, it is a store brand generic root beer. it tastes like what people would want at a picnic or barbeque when they want a root beer. which is fine but not unusual or unique. and sometimes there is something to be said for a root beer that is nothing more than “a root beer” as our founding fathers (and obviously this “Harris Teeter” fellow) intended. a decent fizz. sweet but not too much so. a little of that “root”-ness that makes it root beer going on also. not bad, not great.

well, maybe it is because this has been in my refrigerator for over a year, but the promise of “big fizz” is totally a fake out as this has NO fizz that i can see. actually i am quite sure this has gone bad. but i will still review it for now and get a new bottle soon so this may be amended eventually. um yeh, very syrupy and sweet, overly so. which is weird as i usually like such things. i guess there is a limit on such things though. for 99 cents i suppose it could be worse, but it is kind of not so great. i’d just go the extra 1/4 mile to shoprite and get some of their soda i think
