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.
