Freaky Dog Soda Company is founded by Tom and Jim Magill. They are the self-proclaimed “Sultans of
Soda”. “Brain trust of Beverage”, and “Friends of the Fizz”. They are the owners of Drinks Unlimited Inc.
Although freaky dog is their
creation.
They desired to create a
low-sodium, caffeine-free soda that contains no high fructose corn syrup and
tastes great? They use pure cane sugar in environmentally friendly glass
bottles.
Tom has 25 years of experience
selling every kind of alternative. He
loved Nehi Soda as a kid because of its amazing flavors and colors. Grape was his favorite. Jim learned the ropes as a route salesman for
Joyce Beverages in New York before joining the family business. Tom and Jim’s
father had been in the industry over 40 years. It was his experience and
mentoring that taught them how to transform the alternative beverage business.
So it is time for the review. (Click here for information

Aroma and Flavor – 1.0 out
of 3 mugs
Immediately
upon opening I was well aware licorice or molasses was on the way. There is a slight hint of vanilla and very
small caramel. Rather medicinal and less
than a desirable taste for me.
Head – 1.0 out of 3 mugs
This is a moderate head
that disappears as quickly as it forms.
Zip – 1.5 out of 3 mugs
I
have to credit the intensity of the flavors.
They are just flavors that I do not prominently.
Post Consumption Impression – 1.5 out of 3
mugs
While I imagine drinking a root beer, I am
not believing that fact. Maybe that is
why it is called Roof beer. It is a mix
of other less than traditional flavors loved by the dog?
Would I recommend this at 5.0 out of 12 mugs?
I would assume someone who wants to reminisce of old
time soda that has a licorice flavor would really enjoy the drink. I may have enjoyed it more if I was not
expecting a cool refreshing root beer.
