Doctor Dublin

There is practically nothing out there about this imitation version of Dr Pepper. But it appears to be bottled by a Dublin, Texas bottler who wished provide a drink closer to the original formula of Dr Pepper than it's current incarnation. 

Once the cap has been removed it brings the scent of a cherry cola to mind. The flavoring is less sharp than standard Dr Pepper which today is primarily made with high-fructose corn syrup. This is something I have discovered time and time again, in that sodas made with cane sugar have a smoother sweetness and less acerbic bite to the tongue. It has a cherry overtone with a slight chocolatey finish at the back of the tongue. I'm not going to judge this against Dr Pepper, but on it's own accord. On it's own I find this to be a pleasurable soda and a perfectly acceptable alternative to other "spiced" sodas.
