Review
Pleasant, sweet nose. Strong wintergreen initial taste, but somewhat thin taste overall building to unpleasant aftertaste. Small bubbles linger on the tongue, and give it nice burping potential, but that's about all I can say about this beer. The view from Michigan Avenue of Chicago landmarks on the label -- the Old Water Tower and the John Hancock Tower -- are about as close to "classic" as this decidedly mediocre root beer comes.
