Red Ribbon Home Brewed Style Root Beer

ah, at last! i have been meaning to make a trip out to PA to get a case of this and visit the brewery for a long time. but then Jon offered to trade me a bottle of it along with six other brews i had not had in exchange for seven root beers i had. perhaps you can imagine just how rare it is these days for me to find almost any root beers i have not had which are still made, let alone to find someone with seven of them. but if anyone out there would fit that bill it would be Jon. so let’s do this!
there is a very good, strong root beer scent as i open the cap, i always love that. the anticipation is wonderful! the taste though leaves a bit to be desired. it has a sharp flavor and not much else there. perhaps it is the citric acid in there although i doubt that adds a real taste. yeh, i am just not really enjoying this very much. that is a real shame. i think i went into this with an open mind, no expectations really. but it has let me down.
perhaps i will not make that exodus to the factory after all now.
Ingredients:filtered carbonated water, sugar, natural and artificial flavor, citric acid, caramel color
