737 West Fifth Street, Anchorage, Alaska

        This root beer is only available at the Brewhouse in Anchorage, where it is served in pints.  While you are in the building, check out the Imaginarium, a great little museum. 

 

Review

        A rooty nose.  Not too sweet, subtle, interesting rooty stuff going on.  Flat, wintergreen aftertaste detracts.  As Jessica put it, "overall pleasant, but the transitions are rough."  A nice regional brew, beats out the competition a few blocks away, Sleeping Lady.

        Jessica complained of an odd taste in her second pint, and it turned out there were still soap suds in it from the glass's recent washing!  Her glass was speedily replaced, but it took away from our over-all root beer experience at the Brewhouse.
