That's young Drake eyeing the root beer...
Review:
Rooty, herby nose. Herby lead, not sweet, drops into a kind of minty end and a dry aftertaste that wasn't too pleasant. Samll bubbles in the initial hit, mellows later on. I like a sweeter root beer than this. Brent says, "tastes like Ricola candy, only more subtle."
