    It might have, I may have just mistaken it for nasty normal root beer aftertaste ;)

    There's a couple different companies out there making hard root beer. I don't drink soda more than a few times a year but I like root beer and thought the kind I tried (Not Your Father's, I think was the brand) was pretty good but was so sugary I could only have one before going back to regular beers.

    The first couple of sips will get you hooked, and then you realize just how sweet it is. After halfway through a bottle, I usually need to choke down the rest. I did hear that they came out with a ginger ale that's supposed to be really good though.

    Buddy and I are going to check out Ellis Island the Friday of March Madness. Should be able to find seats and $2 for large craft microbrews. Plus Metro Pizza for slices. Will report back in 5 weeks.

    Why you need coupon for that? You won't save much money after all.

    I tried both over the holidays.

    I love root beer so I was excited to try it. Like Beacon said I found it to be a bit overwhelmingly sweet before I finished. I can see myself having it again but only one at a time and maybe over ice or in a root beer float.

    The ginger ale was too gingery in my opinion. I'm used to the softer bite of ginger in the Canada Dry stuff snd this was much more powerful. I didn't finish it.

    That's good to know. I was hoping it would be more like Canada Dry and not too strong. I haven't looked around for it yet but it's still on my list.

    Hahaha I'll see if I can find that in the states.
