* It's bittersweet and a lot of people compare it to root beer but bitter, but that's not quite right. It is a bit root beer-ish, but also kind of like chinotto. Hardly anyone mentions the Angostura bitters taste it has; both have gentian as a main flavour. (And I think it has a powdery aftertaste a bit like when Double Bubble gum starts to lose its flavour.)
