“Root beer tastes (like) the way Abraham Lincoln looks, and I can’t explain that” is a saying that has been printed on several images. Perhaps the explanation is that Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) of log cabin days and root beer are both associated with 19th century America. “Babe the big blue ox dressed as Abraham Lincoln holding an axe in one hand and a root beer in the other is about as American as we can get around here!” was posted on Facebook by BogusPunkin Studios on July 4, 2015.

Wikipedia: Root beer
Root beer is a sweet North American soft drink traditionally made using the root bark of the sassafras tree Sassafras albidum or the vine of Smilax ornata (known as sarsaparilla; also used to make a soft drink called sarsaparilla) as the primary flavor.
