I quit drinking in my 30s, it was interfering with my Ketracel White addiction and had to go.
We were having a game night at work in San Francisco and a Ukrainian co worker had joined us. We are all sitting down to play after grabbing beers from the fridge, and suddenly the Ukrainian guy gags and narrowly avoids spitting up all over himself. He then asks in this thick but charming accent “Guys. What dee fak is ‘root. beer.’”. He thought it was just regular beer and was not expecting the pretty strong, sugary flavor. Good bonding, he got a real beer and we played a bunch of games.
I’ve heard it tastes like toothpaste. Never tasted sassafras or zarzaparrilla in my life. What is it like?
Draw a triangle.
In one corner put Coca Cola, in another cotton candy, and in the third liquorice.
Root beer tastes like the point in the middle, maybe slightly towards cotton candy and away from liquorice.
This is a good description
Sounds awful. I hear that if you drink enough of it, you begin to like it, but how can you get to that point?
It’s just really sweet. Too sweet for me. The root flavor is hard to describe really, I can understand the toothpaste comparison, but I wouldn’t say it tastes like toothpaste.
I come from a country that uses artificial mint taste for toothpaste. That’s what I have associated with toothpaste. But I know other countries have other flavors too (like spearmint and such), which taste very different. We also have Malta which is extremely sweet non alcoholic malt beverage. The taste is not strong but I associate it with overly sweet drinks.
Root beer is in no way minty.

And a large dose of ketracel white, obviously.
