Root Beer Review #31 – Cicero Beverage Co. Chicago Style Root Beer

There’s plenty of Chicago Style:

• Chicago Manual of Style
• Chicago Style Pizza
• Chicago Style Hot Dogs
• Chicago Style Jazz

and there’s also Chicago Style Root Beer, but what is it?

Apparently the label thinks it’s a Willy Wonka style caramel colored river. It’s smooth, and goodly tasting. Nothing that sets off the taste bud fireworks, but I could see sitting in a dimly lit bar with wood paneling and a fireplace and requesting a Cicero on draft. It’s pleasant.
