Root Beer Soda

"Quality since 1904"

"Caffeine Free"

Nash Finch Company, Minneapolis, Minnesota  55435

     

Review

     Fragrant sweet nose.  Fruity lead, smooth, then drops into an odd midrange.  More carbonation follows, with a faint wintergreen to the flat aftertaste.  Quite nice for a supermarket brew, but not complex or particularly interesting.  Nancy says, "wintergreen, vanilla, nice carbonation -- not terrible root beer for a cheapo."
