Medium sweet. I was pretty skeptical about this flavor working with the vinegar base after trying their cola, but I'm pleasantly surprised at the result. Starts a little sweet and then adds just a little bit of tartness from the vinegar before a lovely herbal spice comes through with lots of vanilla. The finish is …

I could find the ginger if I looked for it, as it mostly is expressed by a …
