So, I planted some American Spikenard years ago despite very little (and conflicting) information online about it's edibility. You can read that it is edible, it's not, it is but tastes horrible, and/or it's tasty. Well finally, I am here to confirm that it is in fact DELICIOUS and tastes like root beer!!! ๐Ÿ˜ Unsurprising for this genus I guess, but there you have it.

Closeup on a cluster of tiny Aralia racemosa berries growing on a short shrub. Most of them are still green, and there are even a few flowers left, but some are a dark dark purple. These ripe few look very juicy.

I suspect the edibility confusion comes from misidentification or different cultivars.
