Packaging/Label: I do love a good pun and this twist on the Route 66 highway sign turning it into "Route Beer 66" is pretty classic. The label (which is screen printed directly onto the bottle) along with the additional frosty-looking font are both nice throwbacks to vintage bottles - and I'm a sucker for that noise. The only thing I'm not impressed with is the pixelated artwork which just signifies that the design file wasn't high quality before going to print. It would be an easy fix for any designer with a spare 10 minutes, so it just shows some sloppy craftsmanship by whoever handled this file.
Aroma: Sweet and spicy
Bite: Medium bite that quickly dissipates
Flavor: That's one a'spicy a'root beer! Please indulge me by saying that line in your best italian accent, wouldja? It's an average root beer with slightly more kick to it. There's definitely some cinnamon thrown in here along with added vanilla flavoring? Maybe licorice? Probably both!
Should you buy it? Pick it up and enjoy it for what it is, but don't expect to be wowed.
