at last! frostie is mine to drink! you don’t know how many people told me to just go get some at Costco or something. finally i just ordered some. then i also got a bottle in my sampler pack from Seattle Specialty Beverages. the drink itself is pretty much regular root beer. a little spicy, a slight wintergreen kick, a pretty lot of carbonation. creamy. a good drink though. it may be somewhat generic but it falls on the good side of that fence. the foam lasts forever also, which is weird but not really bad so much.

This used to be my favorite bottled root beer growing up. When I saw it back on the shelf I eagerly bought some and was—very let down. There is no denying they’ve monkeyed with the formula since the 1960s. It’s not bad–it’s simply not what it used to be.
I would say this is the quintessential average root beer.
This Frostie had high fructose corn syrup in it. Maybe if you tried the Frostie Root Beer that Orca Beverages produces it would be a little tastier; because Orca Beverages uses cane sugar in their’s.
I was terribly disappointed with the Frostie Root Beer that I tasted. It was from Orca Beverages (Who ROCK btw!) but I found it lack luster.
Given the high revue here, I’ll give it another try next time I’m down in Washington.
Actually, the Frostie Root Beer made by Orca Beverages is pretty darn good!! It is kind of a weak flavor, yet pretty satisfying. Light vanilla and mint flavor and aroma. One of these days I’ll have to do a taste test between the HFCS and cane sugar version. Coincidentally, I too give this an 85.
