Review
Fruity, somewhat rooty but chemical nose. Strong initial carbonation, tiny bubbles. Fruity lead with some root, moving to a kind of flat, vaguely metallic finish and aftertaste. The aftertaste is fruity too, though I had a slightly wintergreen fizz on my tongue 15 minutes later. They also do a diet version.
