In December 2000, two firefighters, Rob and Ed, established their own beverage company, Fireman’s Brew. While extinguishing a brush fire above the Glendale Mountains, they sought a refreshing beverage to quench their parched throats. These two Los Angeles natives subsequently crafted beer and root beer. A portion of their profits is dedicated to “The Fallen Firefighters Foundation,” situated in Emmetsburg, Maryland. The company’s tagline reads, “Extinguish your thirst.”
Upon opening, the aroma is predominantly wintergreen, with a subtle licorice undertone. While these two flavors are not my personal favorites, the overall scent is not particularly exceptional. Although it may not be among the most outstanding options, it is not short of anything. My preference leans towards caramel and vanilla, which are only faintly present in this root beer. It is a generic, average root beer likely to appeal to a wide range of consumers.
The head was of average size and gradually dissipated. The bubbles were larger than average but not sufficiently thick to be noticeable while consuming the beverage.
The carbonation level is moderate, not excessively strong. It is a well-balanced blend. Is the zinginess derived from sodium? Additionally, I struggle to fully perceive all the flavors, despite their presence. The carbonation overpowers the subtle flavor combination.
This beverage is widely appreciated, yet surprisingly, it is not considered the preferred root beer choice for many individuals.
I highly recommend trying the beverage. You will find it to be quite satisfying. While it does not induce an intense craving, it effectively fills the void left by root beer. As the saying goes, “Extinguish your thirst.”
