After a short 39-month hiatus, I’m pleased to return with the seventh in my series of root beer reviews.
Sparky’s Fresh Draft Root Beer is a line-drive base hit, nothing unconventional, nothing that would bring a crowd to its feet, but neither a routine grounder to the right side for an out. Its engine revs at the outset of each sip, coasting into a pinching sweetness that is more cocky than coy.
Sampling date: November 30, 2015
Ingredients: Carbonated filtered water, pure cane sugar, honey, natural and imitation flavorings, spices, sodium benzoate to preserve freshness, phosphoric acid and caramel color

I’ll raise a glass of root beer to honour the fact that Dodger Thoughts has made a reappearance! Even if it is only ever so briefly, it’s still has some pop to it. Hope it doesn’t fizz-le out too soon.
