Kvass is a traditional fermented beverage of Eastern European origin, typically made from rye bread or barley, with a low-alcohol content. It has a slightly sour, malty flavor and effervescent mouthfeel. The term can also refer to the drink itself, and in some contexts to a home-brewed or artisanal version. It is pronounced with a crisp initial consonant and a soft, rounded vowel sound.
