This is a brand from Michigan made with real cane sugar. It originated in 1960 as a low-cost alternative to the main brands. While once a thriving business, it has dwindled, and many articles assume it will phase out entirely in time.
Ingredients: Carbonated Water, Pure Cane Sugar, Caramel Color, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Sodium Benzoate (preservative), Citric Acid, and Phosphoric Acid.

Aroma
and Flavor – 2.2 out of 3 mugs
There
is minimal aroma upon opening the screw top. Yes, that is right, a screw top.
At
first taste, I believed this was a pleasant taste, but it was nothing special. Much like Ramblin Root Beer with a
sweet mid-range body. It is sweet,
that is for sure. The flavor is
hard to match, which gives it a higher score.
Head
– 1.4 out of 3 mugs
The head is small, with very fine bubbles that dissipate slowly. After 30 seconds, there was little or no remnant.
Zip
– 2.1 out of 3 mugs
The overall carbonation
and flavor are pleasing, but nothing great. This is not intended to be a fine brew, but an above-average commercial cane sugar brew.
Post Consumption
Impression – 2.3 out of 3 mugs
This is a commercial-style beverage that I would purchase again. It would be good on a hot summer day when you just want a refreshing beverage or with a bratwurst. However, in my opinion, root beer is not a social drink.
Would
I recommend this at 8.0
out of 12 mugs?
The
more I consumed, the more I liked the beverage. Not enough to raise the score, but again, if you grilled
some bratwursts and it is a hot day, grab a Towne Club and round out a great meal!
