Root Beer
"Low Calorie"
Packed for HyVee, Inc., 5820 Westown Parkway, Des Moines, Iowa 50286
Review:
No nose to speak of. Tiny bubbles burned in the initial sip. Wan, fruity lead progressed into a chalky finish. No rootiness discernable. Bitter aftertaste. Guest root beer reviewer Daniel said, "bitter -- really bad!" I couldn't agree more. Why this is called root beer I don't know.
