Maine Root Beer

The only root beer we've encountered so far to be labeled "Fair Trade Certified," and with a bare bones handcrafted ingredient list that reads: carbonated pure water, Fair Trade Certified organic cane juice, and spices, let's hope this hippie tonic strikes us as more than just "Fair."

John: A nice frothy head and robust nose leads to a spicy root beer with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. These Christmas-like spice cake flavors give way to a slightly medicinal sweetness and lingering aftertaste that taints the finish and knocks it from four stars down to three. ***

FRED: GOOD FROTHY ROOT BEER. SLIGHT MEDICINAL FLAVOR AND AFTERTASTE ***
