Review: Best Damn Cream Soda

by Jeff Ellingson

Best Damn Cream Soda was just released.  Cream Soda is the third hard soda flavor this division of Anheuser Busch has crafted.  The other flavors include Root Beer, and Cherry Cola.  The Best Damn line also includes Best Damn Apple Ale, and the soon to be launched Best Damn Sweet Tea.  While cream soda may be thought of as a secondary soda flavor, the first published cream soda recipe dates back to 1852, 34 years before Coca Cola was first produced.  This original recipe included egg whites.  Maybe that’s why Coca Cola quickly became a dominant soda brand.  Today, most cream soda’s are produced by brands more associated with root beer than cream soda, including IBC, A&W, Barq’s, Mug, and Dad’s.  That said I am a fan of cream soda, and while I’m not claiming to be a Cream Soda Sommelier, I’ve tasted over a dozen cream soda brands, and I know the difference between an average and a great tasting one.  Best Damn Cream Soda is brewed as an ale, and then aged on real vanilla beans with natural flavors and caramel color added.It pours to a golden apple juice color with a thin head that dissipates quickly.  The aroma is light lager, caramel, and vanilla bean.  The sweet cream soda entry has a light lager backing that builds to a creamy vanilla bean peak.  The creamy vanilla fade is sweet without being syrupy.  Soft caramel and light beer with a hint of coconut flavor complete the experience.  While most hard sodas strip the beer flavor and add sweeteners to create a malt beverage that tastes like a soda, Anheuser Busch ages their ale on vanilla beans and blends natural flavors to create a tasty ale with vanilla cream soda taste.
