Spoiler alert, this one took me by surprise. I googled this brand and came up with literally no results. No website, no official reviews, no mentions anywhere. I bought it from an online retailer and it was the first I have ever heard of it. It tastes great! It has a slight bite that is similar to Barq’s but it goes away as you get past halfway. It has a smooth caramel flavor with a hint of wintergreen that’s barely noticeable. The aftertaste is a slightly sweet honey that lingered for a while in my mouth. It’s a top tier root beer for me. If you happen to come across it and love root beer then you’ll love this one.
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.
