Review

        Fruity nose.  Very rooty lead, mellowing into sweetness.  A vague cola-like taste that got stronger and stronger through the bottle.  Some honey thing working too.  Quite smooth, although the small bubble carbonation did a little throat burn.  Cola taste comes to the fore a few sips in and last through the rest of the bottle, interesting.  After taste dries out the mouth, not pleasantly; the final sip aftertaste was a grassy mellow taste.  Good burps.  And a nice rebus on the bottle cap.
