Review
I got this beer in a plastic bottle in a supermarket in southern Indiana, and was not expecting much -- and was pleasantly surprised. A round, burnt-sugar lead, cherry-like in sweetness. Pleasantly sweet, fruity tones. Almost no carbonation at all -- ironic for Mr. Fizz, perhaps Mr. Fizzle would be more appropriate. A wintergreen aftertaste that was not unpleasant. All in all a fine, mid-range sugary root beer.
