On the outside, these products look very much like GT’s core non-alcoholic packaging - aside from the amber glass bottle. The product is sweet and spicy, with the pepper ultimately winning out as you continue to drink your way through the bottle. It features raw kombucha, cold-pressed pineapple and turmeric juices, habanero pepper, and cinnamon as its primary ingredients. This one blends seven different hops, peach juice, and a base of raw kombucha, which results in something that tastes somewhat like a beer.įinally, there’s Pina Paradise, which was inspired by Mexican tepache. ![]() While this isn’t the first hopped kombucha that we’ve ever sampled, it is quite possibly the best. Second is Heavenly Hops, which was our favorite of the bunch. It definitely tricks your palate into thinking that you are drinking something that contains wine, but it very much has the bite of kombucha in an otherwise smooth finish. It’s made with aronia berry and blueberry juices and there’s also a touch of vanilla to the finish. There’s a slight note of alcohol at the finish, but fortunately this does not take away from what are three really well formulated products.įirst up is New World Noir, which is a fruit-forward kombucha that features a slightly oaky flavor (one of the ingredients is “oak blend,” but it’s not clear what this actually is just from looking at the label). ![]() ![]() The Classic Gold lineup includes three flavors: Heavenly Hops, New World Noir, and Pina Paradise, each of which have 3 percent ABV and are packaged in 16.2 oz amber glass bottles.įrom a taste perspective, we’d describe these products as being slightly richer in flavor than GT’s flagship Synergy or Kombucha offerings. Since GT’s was the brand that created the kombucha category in the first place, it seems only appropriate for its Classic Gold to be the first alcoholic kombucha product to be reviewed on BevNET.
