"Love Mother Earth!"

Chicago, Illinois

Review

        Sweet nose.  Small bubbles that melt away, nice smooth brew.  Sweet and satisfying, but not much rootiness going on here.  A strong metallic aftertaste, from the first sip to the last, is a detracted from the overall experience.  Aside from the odd aftertaste, a solid soda.

        I like these folks' politics -- it says "Love Mother Earth!" on the side of the bottle, and they have the website of the American Indian College Fund printed on each bottle too.  They donate one percent of their net proceeds to the College Fund, so they put their money where their mouth is, too!
