      It was decent, not super great though. I give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars. Some people might like it better than the standards (IBC, A&W, etc) because it does taste a little fancier. I am going to put it just a little under them because it just didn't taste quite as good. Nothing really wrong with it, just not super delicious. 

      You have to at least give them originality points for their slogan though "Quit being a dick, Drink it."

      Root Beer

      I used to rank my root beer collection by taste from best to worst. Those numbers are in parenthesis on the left. With the growing number or root beers in the collection I don't think I would be able to keep all the subtle differences straight. I am now using a star ranking.

      *****       These are really good root beers. If you see one buy it, drink it, enjoy it.
      ****         Definitely above average root beers. You won't be disappointed.
      ***          Average root beer, nothing special but its not to shabby either.
      **           These root beers try to be fancy but end up with some weird aftertaste.
      *             If one of these root beers are free go for it, but don't waste your money buying it.
      0 Stars   This category was made just for Natural Brew, the worst root beer I have ever had.

      Just hit the root beer jackpot!

      If you didn't know already, I have a rootbeer collection. So far I have 40 different kinds of root beer, ranked from best to worst, sitting on my mantle.

      The growth of my collection had stalled for a while. After you have 40 it is kind of had to find new kinds... unless you are driving down HWY 169 and see a sign that says "Minnesota's Largest Candy Store." There is also a sign telling me of their many different kinds of root beer. I couldn't help but go in and check it out.

      I had a discussion about my favorites and least favorites with the owner. He told me about his supplier in California and how they have different kinds at different times. I am going to have to keep stopping by from time to time I guess.

      I now have 34 new kinds of root beer to taste and rank. My collection almost doubled today. My lips are excited and can hardly wait.

      Ranked "Dang!" At 25th out of 39 rootbeers. Not too bad but a little bit of a funny after taste.
