Pithy Little Soda Works

A small batch, small town, independent brew out of San Luis Obispo, CA, Pithy Little Root Beer is the creation of the Pithy Little Wine Company, who discovered that at their wine tasting events, there was invariably one "pour soul" who didn't drink wine and was stuck drinking water...until they invented their root beer, that is. So let's see how these small time vinters do in the Big Boy world of Root Beer.

John: Strong and bold and definitely one of those hard hitters. Strong anise, strong licorice, and the tart astringence of crushed pine needles. Not my favorite, but not disagreeable enough to low-ball with a 2. ***

Jo: Not shy on flavors! Strong at first taste but really balances out nicely. Different with the mint, licorice, and anise flavors. ***

FRED: PRETTY GOOD ROOT BEER. NOTHING SPECIAL EXCEPT STRONG LICORICE FLAVOR. LINGERING AFTERTASTE. **1/2
