I tried this stuff a few weeks ago and now I am addicted. Maybe I am biased because I was born in Coney Island but I think this stuff is great. I pour it into a tall ice filled mug and slurp away. Goes great with meat or pizza. No fru fru sushi here....This is my opinion....yours may vary (hic).
Sounds like tasty stuff. I LOVE good Root Beer, and having a kick rather than just gluing your mouth shut with high fructose corn syrup will be a genuine treat.
My wife loves those, I found them tasty, I too prefer the Coney Island, she prefers the NYF, but not something I would drink more than one or 2 of, I don't think.
