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. 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 beverage. As a kid, he loved Nehi Soda because of its amazing flavors and colors. Grape was his favorite. Before joining the family business, Jim learned the ropes as a route salesman for Joyce Beverages in New York. Tom and Jim’s
father had been in the industry for over 40 years. His experience and mentoring taught them how to transform the alternative beverage business.

Aroma and Flavor – 1.0 out
of 3 mugs
Immediately
upon opening, I knew licorice or molasses was coming. There was a slight hint of vanilla and a little caramel. There was a medicinal and less-than-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 root beer, I don't believe that. Maybe that is why it is called Roof Beer. It is a mix of less-than-traditional flavors loved by dogs.
Would I recommend this at 5.0 out of 12 mugs?
I would assume someone who wants to reminisce about old-time soda with a licorice flavor would really enjoy the drink. I may have enjoyed it more if I was not expecting a cool, refreshing root beer. The more I consumed, the more enjoyable it became.
