This root beer is made by a company (My Private Label) that then sells it to Scooter's. I'm investigating what other places sell this same root beer but under different labels.
Review
Herby, medicinal nose. Smooth and thin, nicely sweet. The carbonation is perfectly in the background, just adding a slight fizz on the tongue. Sweet aftertaste with slight wintergreen tinge, slight tongue-numbing. Not much rootiness happening here, unfortunately. Otherwise, a very tasty root beer.
