Born in the summer of 1994, the brew was
specially formulated to meet consumers' need for a quality-crafted
carbonated beverage. It uses old-fashioned microbrewing techniques to bring out the robust flavor of all key ingredients. It is brewed in small batches, allowing the ingredients to blend together, forming a full, rich flavor free from any artificial additives or preservatives. The root beer is supposedly made from a rich mix of vanilla, anise, sarsaparilla, licorice root, birch, and other flavors.
Ingredients:
Sparkling filtered water, evaporated cane
juice, natural flavors, bourbon vanilla extract, anise, sarsaparilla,
licorice root, birch oil, wintergreen oil, caramel color, and phosphoric acid.

Aroma and Flavor – 2 out
of 3 mugs
The
aroma is minimal, and the first sip impressed me. That slowly evolved into confusion. There was vanilla, licorice, wintergreen, possibly birch, and a little honey. It was hard to place this beverage into a root beer as it was not lime-flavored Coke. There is an earthy aftertaste.
Head – 1.25 out of 3 mugs
Average head that was slow
to dissipate.
Zip – 2 out of 3 mugs
This
is a rich and full beverage. The flavors
are muted with the higher carbonation.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.75 out of 3
mugs
I liked it, but I did not love it. The more I consumed, the less intrigued I became. It really has wonderful flavors with what
appears to be a Coke base.
Would I recommend this at 7 out of 12 mugs?
If you desire a full-bodied cola, this is very good. If you want a root beer, you may not like the brew. I would certainly purchase this again, but I am very selective when I consume the brew.
