To those who have never tasted Kvass: it's a natural drink, which stands somewhere between Coke and beer. It's softer and a bit sweeter than beer, but can still have up to 2-3% alcohol when made at home or bought from a local brewery.
However, when bought from a supermarket, it's mostly just a carbonated water with some sweeteners and artificial flavors, trying to recreate the original taste at the lowest possible cost.
- int_19h 8y agoFor store-bought kvass, it all depends on the brand. The cheaper ones are exactly as you've described, but you can get the real thing, too. I wouldn't compare it with Coke taste-wise though. I mean, it's basically a fermented drink with rye bread as a base. Aside from the color and the bubbles, it's not really similar.
