Delightful Dessert Root Beer </h3>
Pours with a bit of a head. Evokes the sharp sense of a Root Beer Candy smell. Amply sweetened with pure cane sugar. A veritable kaleidoscope of flavor with an aftertaste <a href="http://blog.gourmetrootbeer.com/2012/03/big-e-root-beer/">identified here</a> as clove and wintergreen.</div>

Q Ginger </h2>

Mildly sharp ginger with a blend of other interesting spices like coriander, cardamom, and cayenne. Lightly sweetened with Agave. Mild effervescence. No visible particulates. While I generally complain about soft drinks being overly sweet, this may be not sweet enough for my tastes. I'm going to have to grab some food to accompany this. brb...<br /><br />Ahh, yes. Q Ginger needs to be paired with food (something with protein and fats - I tried it with a tuna melt) and in this context it really sings. Four out of five stars.<br /><br />100 Calories and 24 grams of sugar (agave) per 12 ounces.<br />

<div>
Upon opening, a mild aroma, evocative of molasses. Minimal head. Syrup like texture of a cherry-cola. I enjoyed this with a mild Turkey-Chili. Feels like it grew out of a Cane Sugar Cola paradigm. Three out of five stars</div>
