O-So Butterscotch Root Beer

On the same trip to Fizzy Waters where I picked up the god-awful Dog N Suds Root Beer I picked up a bottle of O-So Butterscotch Root Beer.  O-So is a vintage brand, one of those our parents grew up with but ceased production at some point during the Pepsi/Coke years.  At first I assumed it was brewed by O'so Brewing Co, which makes tasty beers, you should try them, but although they seem to have some gourmet sodas in their tap room they are a completely different entity.  A little more research tells me that O-So is actually now being bottled by Orca Beverage Soda Works, along with many other beloved favorites like Cock'N'Bull Ginger Beer and Dad's.  Whether or not it is the same, original recipe, I can't tell you, but O-So Butterscotch Root Beer is delicious.  Nice, foamy head and a candy-like flavor.  This is really a butterscotch soda, not a root beer, but why quibble over terminology when you have a soda this yummy?  This is definitely a dessert soda, it is very, VERY sweet and would make an amazing float that would make Harry Potter jealous.  (butterbeer reference, in case you didn't pick up on that)
