the Drive In Restaurant Root Beer

this one is made by Northern Soda Company and I have been told it is a unique recipe just for the Drive In Restaurant people. I hope that is true and I am going on that belief, trusting in the people who have claimed such things.
so this does taste like a Northern Soda product, very very sweet. but hey, if you are getting 99% of your daily sugar in one go, you’d expect it to be quite sugary, so there you go, meeting expectations right off the bat! even for me, who loves sweets, this is a bit much. if you melted some of those ice pops that come in the plastic tubes which happened to be root beer flavor, carbonated that up and chilled them, it would taste like this. or maybe if you melted down root beer candies and carbonated that. it reminds me on some of my root beer syrup experiments when I try to figure out the ratio of syrup to water and I am very off still and need to add a bunch more water. none of this is saying it is bad, mind you. I am enjoying this but it is a bit too over the top for something one would drink more than yearly. the root beer taste is there obviously under all that sugar, with a pretty creamy and smooth feel and finish. I feel like I could just chug this thing down as it is that smooth but I am taking it slowly and like that I feel more just how intense this is. perhaps on a hot day it will replenish my carbs quickly. I am not quite sure if this is actually the same thing as what they serve at the restaurant as they say they make that fresh everyday. but either way, this is a fine drink. if it is different, it gives me another soda to try one day!
