To provide a comprehensive understanding of the history, I require assistance in locating additional information. The product appears to have been manufactured by Blue Sun Soda, located in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota. It is reasonable to assume that Blue Sun Soda was founded by Mark Lazarchic, who is also credited with creating the flavors.

Aroma and Flavor – 1 out of 3 mugs
Upon opening, it is evident that this beverage is vanilla bean-flavored. The aroma of root beer is minimal. Initially, the sweetness and vanilla flavors dominate the drink, making it more enjoyable when sipped slowly. This beverage may be a suitable choice for a float, provided there is more ice cream than beverage. While my initial rating was lower, the vanilla flavor was indeed flavorful.
Head – 0 out of 3 mugs
The head was non-existent. There was no indication of any foam when poured.
Zip – 1 out of 3 mugs
The only zip is vanilla bean and only a little else.
Post Consumption Impression – 0.5 out of 3 mugs
I would not choose this as a beverage over most of the beverages I tested.
Would I recommend this at 2.5 out of 12 mugs (2.5 out of 9 mugs without head)?
This beverage is composed solely of sugar and vanilla. If these ingredients are your preferred flavor profile, I would recommend it. However, it is important to note that this beverage has the third-highest sodium content among the root beers I have evaluated. Only Sky Valky Organic and Cicero Salted Caramel had higher sodium levels.
