Root Beer is definitely not for everyone. It is very sweet and comparable in taste with nothing. With the German malt beer has purely nothing in common. I know very few who love root beer, most will find it easy scheußllich. The A & W Root Beer is the most famous American root beer and is distinguished in addition to the typical basic-flavor by a fine vanilla note. The taste itself is not writable, because there is nothing like it. Give it a try in any case, because something you have never "tasted" a German guarantee.
For me, anyway, the alcohol- and caffeine-free soda specialty is a delicious refreshing drink, especially iced in summer.
