Last week, my family and I took a 6 day road trip through Yellowstone National Park! (I posted just a little about it on my other blog, but will be sharing more photos shortly.) We stopped at a Cracker Barrel right off I-90 in Billings Montana on our 2nd morning heading out there. And I found a big selection of sodas in their "country store:"

| There or 4 sodas in this small collection that I haven't had!.. |

| ... including this root beer! (Being enjoyed outside of the Old Faithful Snow Lodge in Yellowstone.) |
Brand: Pearson Bros. 1986 Root Beer
Origin: Newport, VT.
Purchase Place: Cracker Barrel, Billings, MT.
Sweetener: Cane Sugar.
Review: So I grabbed that root beer (and another soda to try shortly) and we threw it in our fridge at our next hotel. It was cute at just 11 oz (that extra oz was noticeable!). Then my family and I cracked into it the following evening in Yellowstone, just about 1000 feet from Old Faithful!
My wife liked it, my boys thought it was OK, but I just thought it was decent. It was a bit too "sharp" and caramel-heavy for me. It wasn't my favorite. The root beer flavor was OK, but overall just not a great drinking experience. I have to rank this just a bit below average.
Score: 4.5 out of 10.
