Spike says:
Nice head, one of the better ones. Big and foamy, though not as long lasting as Henry's. Medium colored, a bit thin, and over-carbonated, yet strangely refreshing. The vanilla helps temper the carbonation bite. A good root beer for hot days, methinks. Perhaps the wintergreen gives it a cool feeling. Fortunately they laid off the anise. In any case, not something I'd have laying around regularly, but pretty good, especially considering it's one of those "natural" drinks. And in a nod to the tree-hugging natural drink lovers, the can reads, "Entire can protected by a water base coating". What does that mean? The can is metal, so was is some "water base" coating going to protect against? Water-based = water soluble, so first sign of condensation and that coatings gone, unless it's like latex paint. Whatever. I will say this one surprised me, losing points for bubbliness....I'll give it a B-.
