In 1922, in East Haven,
Connecticut, an Italian imagen, Matteo Naclerio, started Foxen Park. The name comes from the street Mr. Naclerio
lived on when he originated the business.
It was primarily a home delivery service. The company never sold, just passed from
generation to generation.

Aroma and Flavor – 2.25
out of 3 mugs
Right out of the bottle, the
aroma is very good—it has a Barq’s aroma. I noted that this is the lowest-calorie drink I have tested to date. With 130 calories in 12 ounces, it is one of the lowest I have tested. The others were Red Ribbon, Bawls, and Sassy Lil Lass. All are rated in the lower
half of my reviews.
The first sip was
refreshing. I enjoyed the beverage, although it was not smooth. The caramel flavor
is noticed. The ingredients list very
few flavors, but there is no way there are many ingredients in the “natural
and artificial” flavors listed on the bottle.
The beverage did have a slight aftertaste, which decreased the overall
enjoyment.
Head – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
There is a head with very
large bubbles that last a short time. After
30 seconds, you would never know there was a head on the brew.
Zip – 1.75 out of 3 mugs
I assume the zip is primarily
sodium. Only Henry
Leonhard’s Draught Style had equal sodium.
It is a shame as the beverage has a tantalizing appeal, and I
again attribute it to its high sodium content.
Post Consumption Impression – 2.0 out of 3
mugs
This is a good beverage with a meal. Because of the aftertaste, I would not
suggest this beverage for a social activity.
Would I recommend this at 7.5 out of 12 mugs?
Sure, not with the greatest enthusiasm. The low calories are a plus, as this is a very sweet drink.
