i am not sure when the Lost Trail people decided to star making a diet version of their root beer, but i had been unaware of its existence until recently. their other sodas are quite tasty though. perhaps they were busy for years refining the formula and junk on the diet version, getting it just right. let’s see…
you know, i was actually kidding there but it may in fact be true. this is not half bad! i mean, for a diet drink. it actually TASTES like root beer! eventually the metal flavor inches in, but not too much and it is somewhat ignorable. but as a professional reviewer, i cannot ignore it. i have to report it as it happens. you though, faithful readers, can feel free to ignore it. especially if you are drinking this by choice, in which case you probably have to for whatever reason and you will be used to it and find this just delightful. it is pretty creamy, maybe that is covering the diet ickiness. it has a very large, long lasting foaming head which is more for show than anything i think. but that looks good. you could throw some Skinny Cow ice desert in here and have a good ole fashioned diet root beer float. or a brown cow if that is how you roll. not a black cow though! ooooh boy, no! if/when i go diabetic i may get some of this stuff but i may just cry when that day comes and take some insulin.
