Route 66 Root Beer

Today's contender is another newbie looking to cash in on the nostalgia beverage market: Route 66 Beer. Among the items of interest on the ingredients label is the comparatively low amount of sugar used (28g--other root beers sometimes weigh in at 42 grams or higher), and the use of quillaia root extract (also known as Chinese Bark or Soapbark, and traditionally used among native Peruvians to cure dandruff and bronchitis).

John: Surprisingly mild. The quillaia extract gives a very mild root beer flavor. Not too sweet, although the aftertaste has a sugary quality that lingers. Good enough, but i don't need to drive down this road again. ***

FRED: MILD FLAVORFULL NOT TOO SWEET. REFRESHING. ****
