The label says: no calories, no caffeine, no carbs. But it also should add: no flavor. I got a regular version of Frostie root beer a while back and with low expectations, it surprised me. Lightning doesn’t strike twice and if you blindfolded me, I would say this would taste like Diet Coke that’s been sitting out for about 15 minutes. It is so unoffensive that it offends me by masquerading itself as root beer. Do not waste your money with this one, if you’re looking for a diet root beer though, there’s plenty of better options out there!
It’s been years (2019) since I reviewed the original Fitz root beer. I haven’t tried it since largely because with a few exceptions (Sprecher, Barq’s, A&W, & Dang) it’s onward to new root beers I haven’t tried before. It’s been so long since I had Fitz’s, the pride of Missouri, that I had to re-read the review to get my mind set for the diet version. I said the original version was clean, crisp, light tasting with a nice vanilla aftertaste. And honestly, that would be a good description of this one. It’s incredibly light tasting and because it’s diet, it’s not sweet at all. I got a little whiff of aspartame in the aftertaste but unlike a lot of diet drinks, it’s barely noticeable. For a diet drink, this is totally serviceable for those looking to save some calories & considering there wasn’t anything that turned me off and grading on a no sugar curve, it’s an above average drink. If I ever completely run out of root beers to revi.
