Saranac Root Beer

1888. Quite a year. Jack the Ripper was mutilating his victims in London, Vincent van Gogh was mutilating himself in France, the "Great Blizzard of '88" left more than 400 people dead along the east coast, and the National Geographic Society was founded in Washington, D.C. In the midst of all this chaos, a brewery was founded in the foothills of the Adriondack mountains of New York. Today, Saranac (Iroquois for "cluster of stars") is a thriving beverage company that prides itself on all its beers...including root.

JOHN: Hits your palate with the flavor of a delicious vanilla ice cream soda. A gently frothy texture, and a pleasing, unobtrusive taste of vanilla and sassafras bark. It's been a while since we've enjoyed a root beer this good. No fancy ingredients on the label, and--get this-- they use high fructose corn syrup instead of pure cane sugar. Guess all that stuff doesn't really matter. ****

FRED: GOOD OLD FASHIONED ROOT BEER. GOOD FROTH AND GOOD SIMPLE TASTE ****
