Ingredients: Spring Water, Can Sugar, Citric Acid, Ester Gum, Caramel Color, and Natural Flavors.
Smell: I was pleasantly surprised by an aroma of vanilla mixed in with sassafras.
Head: When starting to pour this, there was no head to be seen. Then suddenly, it started to grow, not only that but it remained for the whole drink! It looks like what you'd want from a root beer, very attractive.
Flavor: First off, this falls on the side of anise more than sweetness. But it's very strange that the mixture of sugar and anise actually compliments each other well in this case. It was very creamy, and perhaps that also helped offset the usually overwhelming taste of licorice that this drink seemed to avoid. While drinking it I had the though that it tasted like root beer barrel candy. You're left with that specific flavor lingering for a long time after as well.
Overall: Now this may be a case of low expectations getting the best of me, but I had gone in assuming that a licensed root beer wasn't going to be anything special. Yet this was surprisingly delicious. Since it was so candy like I found myself almost craving the root beer barrel candy itself. Either way, this was a solid drink.
