Imported Russian Bread Drink Kvas"ochakovsky" 2l

Sixteen short years ago, I adopted my son from Russia. It has been a joy seeing him grow and mature. We have had a blast learning about Russian history, social mores, culture, etc. He's a great cook, and loves cooking ethnic foods. He'd read about Kvass and decided he wanted to begin fermenting it at home. Thought I'd better let him taste it first to see if he wanted to go to the trouble. WHOA! He loves it! It's a heady drink with rye bread and molasses vibes... yep, strange but truthfully GOOD. Fermentation of our home brew to commence shortly but this stuff is great for those who wish to go no further than ordering a bottle! Arrived quickly too!!

Either you like the taste or you don't, this is one of those things. If you're accustomed to it it's very good and very good for you.

My son wanted to try this after a friend from Ukraine told him about it. It came in great condition & was sealed- nothing wrong with it. However, I didnt care for the taste. I think it's an acquired thing. Do not expect this to be like our Coke or Pepsi. It is sour, not sweet &...well, it's hard to describe. If you are feeling adventurous & want to try what the Russians & Ukrainians love, then this is it.

The flavor of this is unlike anything I’ve had, I’ve got to say I feel like most of Eastern Europe has been hiding this on the Americans as some sort of prank as you can’t find this almost anywhere unless it’s online.I’ve seen mixed reviews but from what I can tell this is considered a standard brand, home made and more expensive brands that have to stay refrigerated are far better but this will let you know if you have a taste for kvass or not.As for the taste?Tastes and smells EXACTLY like fresh rye bread with twinge of something sweet at the end. Like jelly almost.I got to say I’m glad I tried this and will absolutely have to buy more.Only downside is high price per bottle. Been told I should not pay more than 5 bucks for a single 2L bottle of kvass and that I’m being hammered double what the bottle is worth.So while I’m glad I was able to buy a single bottle at double price to even try it. Now that I know I like it I can buy it in bulk other places.

Extremely overpriced, but good Kvass

Horrible taste. Threw it out

I've always wanted to try Kvass, the first sip I thought was too different for me but now I'm guzzling it straight from the bottle! I tastes like rye bread soda pop.

I'd never had this beverage before, but some online friends convinced me to give it a try. Either this flavor is very much an acquired taste, or else something went wrong in the shipping and storage, and the beverage didn't live up to the expected shelf life. Either way, it wasn't good, and the only reason I'm not giving this a single star is that it might just be a matter of taste.
