JSngry Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Although this is most likely not a soda-pop crowd, has anybody tried the new Fanta apple soda? It SMELLS like real apples when you pop the top, and it's got the crisp tartness of whatever those apples are that are supposed to be green when you eat them. It's almost like carbonated cider! I remember an apple soda from when I was a kid (Apple Beer. or something like that), and Jalisco has long made an apple soda for the Hispanic market (as well as a tamarind one that is damn near addictive), but this is the first "mainstream" attempt at this flavor that I can remember in quite a while. I usually associate Fanta with hack work, but this one's a winner. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 sounds like it might be good with a little cinnamon stick twirled in it. and please don't give that other stuff to your tamarin. they belch like lions. Quote

Jazzmoose Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Oh, man...I have seriously fond memories of Apple Beer! Quote
brownie Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Love the apple juice that's called 'Sussmost' in Switzerland. Found and drunk in Switzerland only. Good King Ubu probably drinks liters of the stuff. If he does not, he should. Will keep his cheeks rosy Quote
couw Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 isn't this just apple juice with soda? Schorlemorle as the Germans say (well actually most of them say just Schorle or Apfelschorle, as Schorlemorle really is kind of a silly word) Quote

Schorlemorle as the Germans say (well actually most of them say just Schorle or Apfelschorle, as Schorlemorle really is kind of a silly word) Don't think soda is added. I would say it's natural fermentation. Just mentioning this sussmost has me longing for a taste! If I remember well, it originates in some parts of Dwitzerland only. If Ubu could take a break from his beerdrinking, he could shed some light on this important matter. Quote

tjobbe Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) Schorlemorle as the Germans say mhhh, never heard that, sure you understood them correctly @Jim: are you sure there is any natural flavour in it ??? so I guess its just an Illusion. Buy 100% Apply Juice and mix it with sparkling water.. sadly it won't smell as good as the Fanta-what-ever-is-in-it They currently sell some Fanta Blue here... THAT is aweful... Cheers, Tjobbe EDIT: that is how it looks like.... Edited April 20, 2004 by tjobbe Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Tjobbe, we use that stuff on our windows all the time... Quote

Claude Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) Schorlemorle as the Germans say mhhh, never heard that, sure you understood them correctly Schorlemorle (never heard that before either) comes from the Rhine region and is a mixture of wine and sparkling water. The name is supposed to sound like drunk germans saying "toujours l'amour" http://cronimus.free.fr/dico/s3.htm http://www.lire.fr/extrait.asp/idC=30258/idR=202/idG=8/idP=5 http://www.procolharum.com/tn+sq/gh_ba_touj.htm Edited April 20, 2004 by Claude Quote

If Ubu could take a break from his beerdrinking, he could shed some light on this important matter. Hey, last night I did not drink any red wine, ahm, beer - no alcoholic beverages at all - by the way, "Süssmost" is just the family version of what in the eastern/north-eastern parts of Switzerland (but who cares, Switzerland is so small) is called "Saft" (short for "Apfelsaft"), and "Saft" is not sweet, but alcoholic, and therefore much better, see? ubu Quote
king ubu Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Hey that's tonight, not last night! And I'm having this one, anyway: (and hell, answer my PMs! ) ubu Quote
couw Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 (and hell, answer my PMs! ) ubu hey you dead king, you answer mine first! Quote
king ubu Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 We (that is, my parents etc) used to have our own apples - hell, how do you say that - worked to "Süssmost". No bubbles, then. The one with bubbles can be alright, but often is quite unnatural, too, I feel. ubu Quote
vibes Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Jim, where did you see apple Fanta? My friends and I were addicted to this stuff when I studied in China, but I've never seen it anywhere else. I would love to have it again. Quote
BruceH Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 I'll bet it's not in my area. However, there's a store-brand soda that I just got into. Up til now I've always loathed store-brand drinks, but I tried this Albertson's Strawberry soda and it's surprisingly good. Kind of like drinking liquid sugar. Nice! Quote
JSngry Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Posted April 21, 2004 Jim, where did you see apple Fanta? My friends and I were addicted to this stuff when I studied in China, but I've never seen it anywhere else. I would love to have it again. It's all over the place in the DFW area. Maybe not widely available except on a regional basis? Quote
JSngry Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Posted April 21, 2004 Oh, man...I have seriously fond memories of Apple Beer! And of the resultant belches as well! Quote
