Ingredients: Ultra-Filtered Carbonated Water, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Blackstrap molasses, Organic Aged Bourbon Vanilla, Organic Wintergreen, Organic Sassafras, Organic Sarsaparilla, Organic Sweet Birch, Oragnic Bark/Roots/Spices (Including Organic Licorice, Organic Nutmeg, Organic Cinnamon), Organic Caramel Color, Organic Juniper Berry Extract, Organic Quillaja.
Smell: Sometimes you just automatically something's not going to go well from the scent. This one hits you as very sweet, with wintergreen on the back end.
Head: Look! A new mug has appeared. I was wondering if the new bigger mug would interfere with how the head develops in any negative way. In the case of this drink it did not, but then the head dissipated almost immediately anyway.
Flavor: You can taste the sweetness and the birch right off. It is a very sweet, almost cola like flavor. The aftertaste is the wintergreen, which wasn't unpleasant.
Overall: I've noticed now that these "natural" or "organic" root beers all share a similar trait, and that's that they very rarely taste like a normal root beer. And in some cases they're still a fine cola, but they would never be something I'd recommend as a Root Beer. Now, despite all that, I can't even say I liked this on a soda level in general. Also, that ingredient list is hilarious.
