Dang that's Good!

My first few posts will concentrate on unique sodas. I recently made a trip down to Charleston, IL and on the way back I stopped in Homer, IL, a small town of about 1,000 near Champaign. There isn't much to see in Homer, but it is home to the Homer Soda Company, a small soda shop located within another store called the Village Wardrobe. You can check out their blog at http://homersoda.blogspot.com/. They have an incredible selection of single hard-to-find glass-bottle sodas, so I put together a six pack for myself. After making a sixer, which was difficult to choose just six, I was probably most excited about drinking "Dang! That's Good Butterscotch Root Beer."


This is some good stuff. The butterscotch taste is subtle and not too sweet. I was actually hoping for more butterscotch, but in retrospect, more butterscotch may have ruined the soda. It is very light in taste, not in the sense of being diet or sugar-free, but rather in the sense that it lacks a strong sassafras taste. This lighter and creamier taste makes this a very refreshing and easy to drink beverage. For Harry Potter fans, perhaps this is similar to what Butterbeer tastes like. Or maybe not.
Overall grade: A-
Dang Butterscotch Root Beer is brewed by Imperial Flavors out of Milwaukee.
