Aaah, back to caffeine free root beer.    Dad’s cloudy bronze color comes out with a good fizz, introducing it’s strong bite.  The flavor is slightly sweet with a little syrupiness on the back end.  Like the flavor, the smell is also quite subtle.  However, I found that pouring it over ice brought out the flavor a lot more and you could taste the root beer much stronger and it was much more enjoyable.  It’s sweetness comes from the 40 grams of sugar it contains.  It seems we’re starting to get up there on sugar content.

Over all, I give Dad’s a 6 out of 10.  My recommendation is that it be enjoyed on ice.
