Truth in advertising...this brew has quite the head. It's probably the foamiest root beer I've seen, and I pour them all the same - chilled root beer into a glass mug kept in the freezer. This is a pretty creamy root beer too, maybe excessively so. Extra vanilla perhaps? It definitely has that distinctive cane sugar taste to it too. I like that taste, but cane tends to put root beers in a different class. More of a white collar taste, if that makes any sense. Not too much carbonation, medium color. An enjoyable root beer, but just not there. Maybe it's the "yucca" they put into it. Not that I would know what that tastes like...but something is giving this stuff a taste that's a little different (even considering the cane sugar). While the bottle gets an "A" for raised letters and a painted label, the contents are definitely a B.
