Review
We had high hopes for this "all natural" brand, but our expectations were not to be met. Great head, but other than that this beer fell flat with our tasters in the 2002 Taste-off, where is came in 7th of 9 beers. A "decent, basic root beer," but that's about all.
2002 Cole Family Taste-off (7th)
