Review

    Slightly cinnamony, rooty nose.  A sweet, light lead, flattening into a modestly rooty midrange.  Refreshing, light, and somewhat tasty.   There is a little wintergreen tug in the midrange, but the aftertaste is slightly buttery in a dissipated way.  Tiny bubble carbonation cuts into the smoothness a little, but this is an easy root beer to drink.  This is better than most supermarket brews.
