Tonight's bottle is caffeine-free sugar cane based Maine Root beer from the other Portland...in Maine. Not bad. Organic and fair-trade certified for those so inclined. Less carbonation and sarsaparilla flavor than the Appalachian Brewing Co. from last week, but still good. True to the label, notes of wintergreen, clove, and anise are actually easy to identify. Would definitely have it again, and I plan to seek out some of their Pumpkin Pie Soda this month too...'tis the season!
Addendum: in researching links for this post, I found some fascinating info on sarsaparilla and sassafras...and I'm totally inspired to seek some out (in beverage form, of course)...does anyone have a recommendation that can be acquired here in the US?
