Boylan

A root beer that dates from 1891, this may be the olde-tymiest root beer on the market! The secret weapon on the ingredients label this time around is Yucca extract, a desert plant used to make soap. So I'm ready to wash my hands clean of my old root beer loyalties and try a taste from centuries ago!

John: A strong scent of burnt caramel wafts from the open bottle. On the tongue the caramel flavor is enhanced by an accent of sweet apples. I'm not sure where the Yucca extract fits into this, but overall it is a tasty drink, and very fizzy. A less carbonated, thicker texture might better suit the flavor profile. ***

FRED: AN INTERESTING DRINK AND QUITE GOOD BUT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE ROOT BEER TO ME. **
