I live in California and I just found a spot about 30 minutes away that specializes in New Haven style pizza and sells Foxon Park soda.

I've come to learn that birch beer isn't a thing outside CT, so how would you describe it's flavor to someone who's never had it before?

It's wintergreen flavored, that's the closest flavor that most people will know.

My spouse says it's wintergreen in soda form which I strongly disagree with but I don't know how to describe it. I'd say it's part of the root beer family of sort of medicinal-ish sodas, but maybe snappier than root beer?
