Cascal’s new line of five different blends of natural fermented soda is a great alternative for someone who is not into booze or for kids who think they are already grown up. I tasted four out of the five different blends: Pear/Apricot/Magnolia, Cherry/Chocolate/Rose, Black Currant/Mirabelle Flower, and Apple/Anise; The fifth flavor being Honey/Malt, which I am sure is really delicious as well. These sodas are lower in sugar than other commercial brands at only about 16 grams of sugar and only 80 calories per bottle. They are non-alcoholic but fermented, which still gives them a boozy quality that any drinks enthusiast will surely enjoy. My favorite is Cherry/Chocolate/Rose, which tastes slightly sweeter than the Black Currant/Mirabelle Flower blend. The Apple/Anise and Pear/Apricot/Magnolia blends taste similar to each other, but the latter is slightly sweeter with the apricot notes really coming through.

Rating: 5/5 — Such a simple refreshing soda, and props on faux beer-like qualities. A must have for cute dinner parties for the non-drinkers.
