Barton Springs Root Beer

Barton Springs Root Beer

Thickness: 5/10

Carbonation: 6/10

After Taste: 8/10

TASTING NOTES: Good flavor, New modern taste without the classic licorice “barrel” flavor. Vanilla cream flavor was a bit too much. I would probably call this more of a cream soda than a root beer.
