Available:	IL	Obtained in:	somewhere in IL
Head:	Medium	Sweetener:	high fructose corn syrup
Caffeine:	No

this brand is “produced under the authority of Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group, Inc … Northlake, IL” which makes me think it is mostly available around the Illinois area, but i may be wrong. i know i got it there somewhere. i really must save receipts for sodas better than i do. i can picture the machine and store i bought it in but placing it exactly is difficult. so moving on… for the 25 cents i spent on this, i am pretty happy with it. yeh, it is VERY sweet but it has a little bit of an extra taste to it. a touch of caramel perhaps. which does not make it great or as good as the majority of root beers out there, but for a bargain brand, i think it is alright.

i suspect that this is the same thing as the other “Select” root beers i have reviewed (safeway, stop n shop)but i could be wrong. that top logo thing seems the same, just with the particular store chain in its place. indeed. i quite like their packaging, the light and dark brown stripes and the always classic barrel motiff, very nice! the taste is alright, about the same as most store brands, sweet at first and then you get that sort of burnt/slightly bitter taste at the end as it goes down. could be the aluminum can breaking down or something i suppose. nothing special at all but for 6/$1 or whatever, you can’t expect a lot i don’t think. i just wish they knew if it had corn syrup or sugar or both. i would guess mostly high fructose corn syrup in here though, it has that taste.
