The Boston Beer Company launches an Australian sparkling ale as a refreshing option during the warmer seasons of the year. Its recipe is inspired by a rare historic Scottish style, which gives the libation a golden color and effervescence. In terms of the taste palette, there are light notes of hoppy flavors due to the blend of pale and acidulated malts.
This also gives the sparkling drink a dry finish and subtle floral cues as well. It has an ABV of 4.8% and grainy elements to combat the malty sweetness. The brew delivers a light body due to the spritz-like carbonation, making it the perfect refreshing option during a warm day.
