Root Beer
"More for Your Dollar"
"Draft Style"
"Made with Sparkling Water"
Distributed by DeMoula Supermarkets, Inc., Tewksbury, Massachusetts 01876
Canned by Cro-Pac, Worcester, Massachusetts 01603
Market Basket also has a Diet Root Beer and a Sarsaparilla, but I wouldnt advise trying either one of them.
Review:
Fruity, moldy lead, like biting into a peach that has gone moldy. Almost no carbonation, which makes it smooth. Not sure what happened to this can, if it has gone off. Slightly rooty tones to the mid-range, with a faint twinge of wintergreen at the end. Wholly undistinguished. "It taste like mud," says Nancy. "No carbonation. It has that smoky, dusty moldy bad taste." While the motto is "more for your dollar," we say, "mold for your dollar" -- and not worth it.
