Abita Root Beer (Louisiana)

So for Christmas a few weeks ago my cousin got me a few of these root beers called Abita Root Beer, which is made with Louisiana cane sugar and is brewed in Abita Springs, LA.  This root beer definitely falls on the Sweet side of the continuum, but it's not overly sweet.  It has more of a flat taste without much head when it's poured.  The ingredient list is simple and so it is a bit watery.  However, I think the Louisiana cane sugar does give it a distinct flavor separating it from the rest of the Sweet root beers.

If I had a choice between this and some other flavors, I may not go for this one right away.  But overall I'd say this is an above average Sweet type root beer, a nice entry level taste for the root beer novice.  Give this one a try if you get the chance, I think you'll like it.
