    It looks like root beer. It's carbonated like root beer. It tastes like root beer. While a ten year old might argue with that sentiment, adults might argue if you told them it is a beer. It's fun to try, but I found the last 4 oz or so to be a bit much. If you see a single somewhere, it's worth a try.

    I could down several of them quickly with no problem. I do not think it is as sweet as soda but it tastes just like root beer. I really enjoy it and will buy 6-packs regularly.

    It's good. It's basically alcoholic root beer.

    it tastes like a good root beer. you would have no clue it is alcoholic. then again it probably is not hard to hide 6% abv in a diabetic sucrose bomb.

    Sounds like good beer while grilling this summer. I will probably have to give it a try now despite that recipe. I picked up a Dawn of Aurora at Haskells WBL while debating on a sixer. They had plenty more and other noble star beers. That is just a great beer. Schells is just knocking it out of the park with these and the Stag line up. Thanks to everyone who posts about how good these beers are, otherwise I may have missed out!

    I'd love an answer to this as well. Squared was awesome.

    I know it's a long shot, but I'm looking for Chillwave in the North or Northwest metro - preferably cold.
    Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, but that's quite a bit south of me.
    I'm looking for something north of 694, and west of say...Central Ave., if anyone else has a spot they know of.

    I know it's not considered "fresh" anymore, but I just finished my last one and it's still pretty damn good to me.
