Review

        Honey-like nose.  Rooty bite, with a spicy follow-through.   Tiny bubbles do a little tongue burn, some wintergreen working in there too, good belch factor.  Flattens out into a slightly metallic aftertaste.  An interesting but not spectacular brew.  The bottle is odd in that it has nothing on it except "Sioux City Root Beer," the bar code, and "12 fl. oz."
