Faygo Original Root Beer

Faygo sodas have enjoyed success and popularity in the midwest for over 100 years. But more importantly to us, in 2009 Bon Appetit magazine named Faygo the best tasting American root beer, profiling it as "dry and crisp, with a frothy head, a good bite and a long finish." This stuff must be good! Let's find out if those food snobs know what they're talking about.

John: On one hand, there is nothing out of the ordinary about this brew, but on the other hand, that's its strength: if you had to describe root beer to an alien race, you could just hand them a Faygo. Its root beer flavor is simple yet sophisticated: rooty, but a strong splash of peppermint accounts for its crisp bite. It's not too sweet and the mint aftertaste lingers long enough to prompt another swill. Refreshing and good. ***

FRED: JUST AN OLD TIME ROOT BEER WITH LITTLE FLAVOR AND BORING. **
