Review

        Strong sweet and rooty nose.  Very little carbonation, which I normally like, but this was almost flat.  It did make it smooth, though.  Almost cloyingly sweet at first, then backing off into a little cola-like taste.  Thin taste, doesn't have much body.  A faint wintergreen aftertaste that was reasonable.  Not a lot of rootiness going on here, more like a good clean soda pop.
