can - As others have said, it’s basically root beer. It looks, smells, and tastes like root beer. It’s very sweet. The carbonation is on the low side for root beer. It’s very easy to drink and the alcohol is all but undetectable under all that sugar. It’s enjoyable if you like root beer.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark brown with a fizzy/transient beige/tan head. Aroma smells like root beer. Med body or so. Flavor is decent, xpt that there’s way too much sugar. Shame that.

12oz bottle from the local Giant. Poured a very carbonated yellow color. Ginger ale notes come through, not as ginger as Canada Dry, but close. A touch medicinal. A little bit of grain alcohol notes I guess. Interesting.

Single bottle from Trader Joe’s. Golden pour looks more like a sparkling cider than a beer. There is a nice ginger smell, with a bit of lemon in the back, at least more zesty than a ginger ale. Taste is okay as a ginger ale, but as a beer? It is quite gingery, but runs way too sweet, just like a soda. There does seem to be a bit of malt at work, and as I go further into the glass, the ginger burn builds nicely. But I can’t get past the extra sugar this seems to be packing, and to wonder whether this is really a "malt beverage," as in Mike’s Hard.

12 oz bottle poured into a nonic pint glass. Clear ginger ale yellow with rapidly fading off-white bubbles. Aromas of artificial ginger. Tastes of artificial ginger, sugar. Medium-light body, syrupy finish. Pretty one-note.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours lite gold with no head. Strong ginger aroma. About med body. Lots of ginger - that’s good. But it’s way too sweet. Coming over as a bit gummy. They must have poured in corn syrup. Too bad, cause the ginger is just about right.

12 ounce bottle. Looks, smells and tastes exactly like ginger ale. There’s a bit of a bite to the ginger, and it’s not overly sweet, so it does seem somewhat natural, but in no way does it resemble beer.
