It is remarkable to consider that this soda beverage originated from the ingenuity of two young individuals, Sebastián and Alejandro Caamaño, aged 12 and 13, who aspired to create their own soda pop. Their father, Christopher Caamaño, a culinary professional, had previously encountered home-brewed carbonated water and resolved to replicate the process. The narrative suggests that the children discerned that incorporating sugar and flavoring to their homemade carbonated water would yield soda.
In 2010, the Caamaño Bros Soda brand was established. Their father had a particular fondness for sarsaparilla, and the brewing endeavor culminated in the establishment of a root beer stand at a local nursery. The product gained popularity, leading to increased demand at local farmers’ markets. Today, the company has evolved into a substantial, 100% family-owned enterprise.
Upon opening the bottle, I had high expectations. The aroma was light, with a good balance of vanilla and sassafras. The first drink was mixed, as there was a slight medicinal taste. It was much like I felt about Capone’s, but there was an aftertaste that I disliked. Depending on the mood, it could be one of my best or least favorites. I noted that using the bottle directly rather than over ice was better. I could not tell if this was a root beer as it had a hint of cherry. It was not a cherry Coke but had that same slight cherry taste. The vanilla is faint with no caramel flavor, which I prefer. The sarsaparilla is noted but also slight. This taste was interesting and overall enjoyable for a soda.
The foam was highly foamy and dissipated within 20 seconds or less. Notably, there was no rim present on the edge of the glass.
Although the overall flavor profile was average in terms of creating a memorable experience, the spice mix did not stand out as particularly exceptional or bland.
I found the beverage to be enjoyable. While I may not actively seek it out, I would not hesitate to purchase a six-pack to accompany a meal.
This beverage was of average quality at best. Despite my expectations based on its history, I was disappointed to find it lacking in the exceptional taste I had anticipated. While I would not hesitate to recommend this drink to others, I suggest considering other options before choosing it.
