In December of 2000, two
firemen, Rob and Ed, started their own beverage company, Fireman's Brew. They sat on a hillside
extinguishing a brush fire above the Glendale Mountains. They desired a brew to quench their dry
mouths. These two hail from the Los Angeles area and proceeded to make beer and root beer. A portion of their proceeds is donated
to "The Fallen Firefighters Foundation," which is located in Emmetsburg,
Maryland. The tagline is
“Extinguish your thirst”.

Aroma
and Flavor – 2.2 out of 3 mugs
When opened, the immediate aroma is primarily wintergreen with a licorice accent. These two are not my favorite combinations, so I am disappointed. I was not, although it was not one of the best, as I like more caramel and vanilla (only a slight hint). It is a generic and middle-of-the-road root beer that should appeal to many people.
Head
– 1.8 out of 3 mugs
The head was average and took a while to fully dissipate. The bubbles were larger than average, yet they were not thick enough to be noticed when drinking the beverage.
Zip
– 2.1 out of 3 mugs
The carbonation is medium,
not too strong. Nice blend. Does the zip come from sodium? I also have difficulty
getting all the flavors, as I know they are there, but the carbonation
dominates the mild flavor mix.
Post Consumption
Impression – 2.3 out of 3 mugs
This is a good beverage
that many will enjoy, but it is hard to believe it is anyone's favorite go-to root
beer.
Would
I recommend this at 8.4
out of 12 mugs?
I
recommend you try the beverage. You will find it satisfying. It does not want you to crave it, but it certainly fills the root beer spot. Like they say,
extinguish your thirst.
