Packaging/Label: Above and beyond. There's a freaking bear on the label - of course, it's awesome! Full color, great illustrations, well thought-out composition. Most importantly, i really dig the bottle cap. Sure, they could have copped out with a plain, generic cap or just stamped their name on there in an after-thought, but they cap it off with a paw print paired with a "seal of excellence".
Aroma: I wish every room I entered could smell this good! Layers of spice; prominent in vanilla, but not overwhelming.
Bite: Medium bite; doesn't interfere with flavor but lasts throughout.
Flavor: Full, smooth flavor from the first sip to the last; tastes just like it smells - there are hints of vanilla, honey and other spices with no crazy-weird aftertaste like you might expect with so much going on inside this bottle.
Should you buy it? You haven't ordered yours already? Really, you need to try this.

Additional Notes:
Not only is this one helluva great root beer, but the people who work for the company are incredibly accommodating too. When I tried finding out where in the Philadelphia-area (where I'm from) I could find a distributor, they really worked with me to make it happen.
Overall Rating:
I was finally able to try this root beer after months of searching for a place to buy it. Hands down, the best I've tasted!
