Briar's Premium Root Beer
How do I tell if it's good?
I found a bottle of Briar's Premium Root Beer at Big Lots for 49 cents. It has a strong wintergreen (i.e. Pepto-Bismol) taste like the dreaded Clover Valley root beer, but this is better, not hugely better, but still better. It's far sweeter and less unpleasant than Clover Valley, which wasn't particularly sweet. I thought it was nice in small sips and it did get better as I drank it. I liked Mug more than Briar's, but Briar's is OK.
Verdict? It was OK. Maybe root beer just isn't my thing.
