Malt beer I believe is Root Beer. My Grand use to say that.
No malt beer is low alcohol beer, during brewing either the yeast is added at 0 degrees celcius or the fermentation is stopped at desired alcohol level. Looks similar (and tastes) as regular beer.

Root beer is made from the root of the sassafras tree iirc. Mostly alcohol free. Looks dark brown-ish and is very sweet.

Like I said, to me it tastes like sarsaparilla.

Root beer came to be because of prohibition I thought - and therefore more sensible countries didn't need it. :)
Nope, it was already a thing apparently. Prohibition is just when they started making it non-alcoholic.
I also learned that the stuff actual root beer is traditionally made from is now verboten in the US because reasons.

We had bubble gum that tasted exactly like root beer when I grew up. Of course, root beer didn't exist here at that time :)
I think I've had that gum in the states or similar flavored. Here, at least, bubblegum is kinda it's own distinct very sweet vaguely fruity very pink flavor. As well as describing a type of gum that is usually better for blowing bubbles.

Wonder if it got caught up in the wormwood scares.

At least you can no longer blame us for Budweiser - the Belgians bought it. :D
This is amazing. I thought that the best beer comes from Belgium. Like Duvel, an amazing nice beer. And than they buy Bud? I remembered one sip which I spitted out. It tasted like owlpi@#. Well good luck Belgium! Enjoy truless tasteless beer.....

Totally off topic but I couldn't resist this one.......
