Born in the summer of 1994, the brew was
specially formulated to meet the consumer's need for a quality-crafted
carbonated beverage. Through the use of old-fashioned micro-brewing 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 supposedly is made from a rich mix vanilla, anise, sarsaparilla,
licorice root, birch and other flavors.
It is time for the review. (Click here for information on the rating

Aroma and Flavor – 2 out
of 3 mugs
The
aroma is minimal and the first sip I was impressed. That slowly evolved into confusion. There was vanilla, yet licorice, wintergreen,
possible birch with a little honey. Hard
to place this beverage into a root beer as it was not lime a 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 a little muted with the higher carbonation.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.75 out of 3
mugs
I liked it, but 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 body cola, this is very
good. If you want a root beer, you may
not like the brew. I would certainly
purchase this again, but very selective when I consume the brew.
