I only found this available in the 20 oz. size, at Giant Supermarkets.
Review
Faint rooty nose. Burnt sugary taste, very sweet. No root at all. Slight bubble burn, good burpability. Burnt sugar aftertaste, not unpleasant.

Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, caramel color, potassium benzoate (a preservative), natural and artificial flavor, citric acid.
Acquired: Giant Foods, Northern Virginia.
Available: It is the Giant Foods "house brand" so should be available at Giant and Super G stores throughout their range, in Washington, D.C., Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia. I've also found it at Stop & Shop in Sayville, Long Island, so it may be available at Stop & Shop stores along the east coast as well.
