Old Time Quality Draft Root Beer
"Since 1926"
Filbert Root Beer Co., 3430 S. Ashland Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60608
Review
Cola-like nose. Honey-like taste initially, but some odd chalkiness in the aftertaste. Pleasantly sweet. Small bubbles detract from smoothness. This tastes like real, old-fashioned root beer, if that makes sense.
