About FRESH
FRESH is a panaché, the French-style mix of beer and lemonade, and STAR says it was the first panaché made in Madagascar when it appeared in 1990. It is lighter and sweeter than the brewer's beers and is sold on that: a summer drink for people who want something gently fizzy rather than a full lager. It sits in the range between the THB and Queen's beers and the Caprice soft drinks.
