Review

        Intensely sweet, fruity nose, a promise of things to come.  A fruity, sweet soda, with a nice cherry-like taste, odd but pleasant in this root beer.  As Nancy says, "it tastes like Dr. Pepper."  Very smooth, not highly carbonated.  No aftertaste to speak of, a little disappointment.  Nice screw-off cap that reseals, and nice ACL bottle.
