Kreuzbär Fassbrause mit Koffein
330 mL bottle
|
History In 1908, Berlin pharmacist Ludwig Scholvien experimented to create a non-alcoholic drink for his young son. He called his recipe "Fassbrause" ("keg spritzer"). The recipe, made of water and malt with apple and licorice flavors, mimicked the color and froth of a fresh-poured beer. Nowadays numerous bottlers and breweries sell their own variations of Scholvien's recipe, some made with raspberries, lemon, cassis, elderberry or other flavors. Kreuzbär Fassbrause was first created in 2010 with a recipe only slightly changed from the original except added caffeine. A child-friendly version is made without caffeine. Review I've never had a "Fassbrause" before so don't know what to expect. It has caffeine, is it a cola? Its made with malt, does it taste like a Malta soda? Does the licorice root make it more like a root beer flavor? Instead of my imaginings, it's not a strong flavored soda. Instead it's more like a mineral water with citrusy light flavoring. It'd be refreshing on a hot day, I think. The herbs and licorice flavor are pretty subtle. It's not a medicinal herbal root beer flavor but more like a citrusy Sprite: light and crisp and clean. More dry than sweet, like an elderflower brew.
