We had an office challenge with 39 flavors of rootbeer. The labels were all covered to eliminate bias. This was the WORST rootbeer of them all. Not one of the 12 employees could say anything nice about it. Meanwhile Sparky's, Seadog, Baumeister, and Dog'n Suds were at the top.
I applaud this root beer for trying to be different, it has a unique flavor profile. But its hard to put a finger on what those flavors are, and they don't really seem to mesh.
