And my guess was apparently correct:
root beer (julmust) - a Swedish invention dating back to 1910. The recipe is a secret but the 'beer' is supposed to contain malt and hops. These are also present in ordinary beer, but root beer contains no alcohol.

Heck I cannot describe the taste. You can probably find it at IKEA if you are curious.

And I have never tried root beer so I would not know.

Take a very good look at my location field and sear it into your brain.

Ofcourse I've never tasted root beer myself, though somewhere I got the impression it was much like julmust.

Julmust is a soft drink that is drunk mainly in Sweden at Christmastime. During the rest of the year it is sold under the name must. At Eastertime the name is Påskmust. (jul=Christmas, påsk=Easter). The content is the same no matter the marketing name, however must is closely associated with Christmas and somewhat less with easter. It is often hard to find the drink in off-season. Must was created by Harry Roberts in the early 1900s as a non-alcoholic alternative to beer. And the syrup is still made exclusively by Roberts AB in Örebro. The original recipe is said to be locked up in a safe and only one person knows the full recipe. Must is made of carbonated water, sugar, hops extract, malt extract, spices, colouring (E150), citric acid, and preservatives. The hops and malt extracts give the must a somewhat beerlike taste, but must is not fermented and contains no alcohol. Must can be aged provided it is stored in a glass bottle. Some people buy must in December only to store it a year before drinking it. Julmust might be the source of some annoyance at Coca-Cola in Sweden, since Sweden is the only country where the consumption of Coca-Cola drops during Christmas. Many Swedes drink julmust instead. This was quoted as one of the main reasons Coca-Cola broke away from their contract with Pripps and started Coca-Cola Drycker Sverige AB instead. Ironically enough, Coca-Cola later felt it was necessary to make their own julmust.

Now I don't know the connection here, but goddamn if Coke isn't on my shopping list that week.

Now cocc’s exe’s cannot stand the thought that they don’t dominate the market 100% of the year.

So in their bright idea to sell more cola in Sweden? Design a new bottle, don’t sell it but give away a 33cl bottle if you buy 4l of cola at the same time.

And the final nail in the coffin don’t encourage people to drink their designer bottle but call it a collectors item and with a straight face say that it might be worth cash in a couple of years if you don’t drink it.

Here’s a clue Cola! Swedes don’t drink Cola at Christmas we drink “MUST” take your fucking collectors shit and stuff it up your ass.

Oh and by the way I hate your stupid commercials!
