Jones Soda Co. Root Beer

Overall quite smooth and sweet, Jones Root Beer possesses a sharpness that is decidedly other than "bite." Rather, it is the simple sharpness of carbonation as it hits the back of the throat. Nothing fancy there.

Unpretentious and serviceable, this root beer is unmemorable, even though I "root" for the company as I did for Smartfood in the late 80s. My misguided consumer choices almost always attach themselves to ambitiously innovative yet ultimately deluded failures … hm, I wonder why.

Label design on my bottle: a cartoon lookalike of Burt Bacharach superimposed over a street scene.
