    I've always wondered what it tastes like since I had over 25 bottles of the stuff at one point. It's becoming so ridiculous that rexes secondary job besides biting and knocking people down, is to be my personal cooler of fine drinks found in the wasteland. Someday I will have a room filled to the brim with sarsaparilla bottles If I don't drink them first that is. So what are your little quirks that you have in new vegas?

    Root Beer.  Maybe a bit stronger, bit more medicinal flavour.  Depends on the brand.

    @alternate: So that's why it heals so much health compared to other drinks. I drink them pretty much all the time since I want to save stimpacks. Course I have over 75 stimpack so maybe I should start using them more...

    I'm thinking orange. Since the name is all Spanish (sarsapariya), and it's sunny in Spain. And the sun is round and orange. Just like an orange.
     
    Either that or like SARS.

    Tastes like root beer. A wild west theme park near here sells it. It's pretty good.

    It's a type of root beer.
     
    They have it at specialty beverage stores like BevMo's and World Market.
     
    If you're into Root Beer and whatnot also try out Birch Beer which is more minty tasting.

    I first encountered it when I was driving across death valley.  Was running low on bottled water and came across this bar/hunting supply/gun store and Sarsaparilla was the only none alcoholic bottled drink they sold.  Cheap though, was about 50 cents a bottle (this was a while ago).  Bars in the UK won't even sell you a coke for less than about £2.

    @makari: Indeed, and all this has just reminded me that it's been ages since I've had one. As a kid, I'd always have one if my parents and I had dinner down at the local RSL. Delicious! Mum always reckons it tastes like Fly-Tox, though.

    The sarsaparilla I've tasted was similar to root beer, but perhaps less sweet in general. Certainly not exactly the same.
     
    Ginger ale though, that is the drink to drink.

    I've always wanted to try root beer, but hate sarsaparilla. Does root beer taste like licorice?
     
    While we're at it, anyone tried Portello? I always get it mixed up with sarsaparilla, but Portello is the shit. And it's becoming increasingly harder to fin it here in Oz.

    It probably tastes like Bin Ladens infected asshole. Which would also be the reason why no on has sold the shit for decades.

    If you drink them, do you also collect their star caps?

    Sarsaparilla is like a frosty taste of heaven. Best served ice cold.

    As has already been said, basically take the taste of Root Beer, and make it taste less good.

    The irony of the post just before mine necro'ing this thread and the post before that one being someone complaining about a thread necro is palpable. Which is interesting since the original necro post also gave the most correct answer hmmm.
