I like both sarsaparilla and ginger beer (really love ginger beer)
and find most American root beers taste a lot more like sarsaparilla but not
quite. It varies by brand and I was raised on A & W. Root beer is not much
like ginger beer. (the best ginger beer locally available in Oklahoma is
Cock & Bull).
