Birch beer
Foxon Park White Birch Soda
Foxon Park Beverages, Inc. · white birch (clear)
East Haven, Connecticut, USA
A pale, clear-as-water birch from a Connecticut soda house that has been bottling since 1922. The pour leads with bright wintergreen lift over a soft, cane-sugar sweetness, and a light creaminess rounds the midpalate without ever turning heavy. Carbonation is lively and the finish is short and clean, leaving a cool minty echo rather than the deep root-and-bark weight of a dark birch beer. An easygoing, nostalgic regional pour that prizes refreshment over complexity.
