Yeah, root beer is dark, at least all of the varieties I've seen I may be mistaken, but what they call ginger beer is what we call ginger ale -- a spicy carbonated drink that is sweet but not too sweet and sometimes has a bit of a bite to it. I don't know if their ginger beer is dry like Canada Dry ginger ale or "wet" like Vernor's or Reed's.

Root beer is a soft drink. It has kind of a sweet taste and I think it is dark in color but am not sure about that one. I'm sure you will get lots of responses. Hope that helps.

I do have one question, as an Australian I have always wanted to know what Root Beer is? Here in Australia we have Ginger Beer, is this what American's call Root Beer?
