Review
Rooty medicinal nose. Thin lead with cherry-like hints, mellows into a vaguely cherry cough syrup middle and aftertaste before fading down to that dreaded aspartame taste. Relatively sweet, not terribly rooty, this is a successful diet drink if you don't stop drinking it long enough for the aftertaste to set in. This diet version actually scored higher than the regular Big K root beer.
