Well, I remembered this as being a premium root beer from when I was a kid, but I guess that shows you what kids know. I was pretty excited to drink this, as I hadn’t had one in a while, but I was quite disappointed. It just didn’t have very much flavor and tasted a bit like the aluminum can it was in. The whole drink was very thin, flavor-wise, but extremely carbonated with almost a fake sweetened taste. Sort of like Splenda or something like that, although it was actually sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup. Not a root beer I’ll be buying again. Sorry, Good Doctor…

This brand is now owned by Pepsi, and apparently it’s available in a 12 oz bottle, but around the south, I’ve only seen it in 12 oz cans.  Dr. Brown’s does have a pretty interesting history worth checking out, though:
