Sioux City Sarsparilla

Billing itself "the granddaddy of all root beers" only sets Sioux City Sarsparilla up to be a disappointment. All kick and no flavor, this Sarsparilla is still a fine drink when fancier root beers can not be found.

One additional flaw is that this is a regular drink that tastes suspiciously like a diet drink. However, root beer is always nice, and this one is okay. I don't exactly appreciate the condescending label design with the cowboy walking through the saloon doors, either.
