Cove Root Beer
Root Beer
Root Beer is Cove's sarsaparilla-style soda in a 355 mL can. The panel lists 10 calories, 0 g sugar, and 5 g of fibre. Vanilla extract is on the ingredient list with caramel colour.
Halifax-based Cove Drinks owns this SKU. Cans leave the London, Ontario plant. Grocery distribution is handled by Keurig Dr Pepper Canada. Erythritol, stevia, and flavour extracts are not given a Canadian origin on the site.
The brand sells it as frosty-mug root beer, including as a float with ice cream. Phosphoric acid and citric acid both appear. Chill the can before you pour.
