Delicious Sparkling Temperance Drinks

Fayrouz Malt Beverage with Raspberry Flavour
Egypt

Review

Wow, the can exploded with a bang when I popped the top. Its got one of those old fashioned pulltab type tops we haven't had in the US in 20-some years.

This really is a malt beverage and tastes like one. Why couldn't they just have made a carbonated apple soda? This tastes like weak beer with apples in it. Why subject those who do not drink alcohol to a crummy beer flavor?

Maybe this sour malt and hops flavor would go better with pear or a more fragrant fruit. All it does with apples is add a suggestion that perhaps the apples are spoiled.

The only saving grace for this drink is that the apples inside do have a punchy sweet flavor, crisp with just a bit of tartness. If only they had left the weak beer malt flavors out this would be great stuff.
