One would think that this is just Dominion Root Beer (review) with a different label. The bottle looks the same. The caps are the same. Oh yeah, the label says it was made by the same company. But they're not the same. This one's worse. Go figure. This one only has 2 sweeteners compared to Dominion's 4, though I'm sure that doesn't mean it's half as sweet. It doesn't taste as sugary, though,.so more of the off flavor mentioned in Dominion's review comes through. Good coloring, decent head. It doesn't do much for me, and seems a bit harsh to go with chili. Oh well. Can't like them all I guess. C-.
