Olde Brooklyn

Williamsburg Root Beer

"Born in Brooklyn, USA"

Olde Brooklyn Beverage Co., Inc., 10-4 Drew Court, Ronkonkoma, New York  11779

 

Review

        Fruity nose.  Fruity lead, sweet tasting brew.  Small bubble carbonation intrudes a little.  This is tasty sugar water, but not much rootiness going on at all.  A mellow fruity brew, faint hints of something in there.  No real aftertaste either, which could be a good thing.  Fruitness a little cloying in the end, as it lingers.
