Kopparberg Fruit Lager Lemon & Lime beer 8x500ml bottles

Product Information

The flavor showcases a high level of clean, lactic sourness and is balanced well by sweet, bready malt resulting in a pleasant sweet-and-sour experience. The beer finishes lightly bitter with a lingering sweet-and-sour character and a generous helpings of plums, prunes, and cherries.This wild beer is expertly crafted. The well executed Oud Bruin base style is complemented well by the additions of plums and cherries. The sweet-and-sour character is very enjoyable and allows the wild character to showcase without an aggressive acidity." We were hugely excited to see we had the highest repeat rate and highest weighted rate of sale in total craft singles in Sainsbury’s last year, which are the two most critical metrics for long-term growth potential. Launched in 2018, Jubel recorded growth of 120% in the past year and was the top-selling craft single in Sainsbury’s over the summer, founder Jesse Wilson told The Grocer. The Brettanomyces is a bit lighter in the flavor and quite complementary. A light red wine character develops in the aftertaste. The complex fruit, sourness and wild yeast combine to create a complex and quite enjoyable barrel aged beer. Pinot Fresa is a well-brewed barrel-aged fruit beer. Perhaps a slight taming of the lactic sourness would create a more balanced beer, but only slightly. Quite refreshing and one that should not be passed up." The brandproduces craft lager cut with fruit, which is brewed with British hops and barley as well as fruit extracts sourced from a sustainable, organic British farm. The alcoholic beverages are alsovegan, gluten-free and have an ABV of 4%.

Bottled shandies and radlers have been popular for some time. Made by blending beer and lemonade (or another sweet citrus juice), you can make shandies at home with any beer you like. Most true fruit beers, on the other hand, are brewed or aged with real fruit or juice, and are not a straight blend. The taste is distinct, but the label doesn’t always make this clear. The alcohol content can clue you into which you’re buying: Shandy’s will be lighter (around or under 3.0 percent ABV), while true fruit beers will be the strength of other beers in that style. The fruit lager category is growing in importance in supermarkets, with BrewDog releasing its own range of infused lagers last month.It shows fruit lager is not a niche but is attracting a large number of highly loyal and incremental shoppers.We’re pioneering a new category that is gathering very strong momentum.” The Dutch beer market is largely dominated by multinational companies, with Holland being the home of Heineken, Grolsch and Bavaria. These brewing giants easily take the lion’s share of sales with Heineken accounting for some 50% of the market, and given it’s the world’s third largest beer brewer that figure certainly isn’t surprising. Then there’s the export side of things—the Netherlands exports the largest proportion of its beer in any country in the world, approximately 50% of overall production, and considering the fact that the main breweries are so well known it isn’t hard to account for this level of exportation. It can be any style of beer—lighter and more refreshing ales are most common—and use any type of fruit. Citrus and berry-flavored beers are typical, and a few adventurous breweries will use papaya, pineapple, or other types of fruits. Fruit beers can be sweet or tart, and they’re not always super fruity. Some have a subtle fruit flavor that almost teases the tongue; you know it’s there, but it’s not conspicuous. Fruit Beers are defined by the Beer Judge Certification Program as any “beer made with fruit or any combination of fruit.” For this list, we’ve delved into the Top 39 fruit beers our judges have reviewed in our Official Review. However, we have not limited it to just beers that are designated as “fruit beers” according to the BJCP 2015 style guidelines.

For example, two pounds of raspberries may be perfect in your five gallons of strong stout, but the same amount in a session wheat beer could be overwhelmed with raspberry character. Also, take into account whether or not the fruit has a strong acidic quality, which will require more consideration in creating a balance between the fruit and base beer. Swedish cider maker Kopparberg will offer consumers “a unique and refreshing taste experience” when it launches its new lemon and lime-flavoured fruit lager. Wilson said the new funding would be deployed to market the brand as distribution had grown rapidly ahead of consumer awareness.Fruit beer refers to any beer where actual fruit or fruit juice is prominent in the flavor of the beer, often overshadowing malt and hop flavors,” says Garrett Oliver, James Beard Award-winning Brewmaster and Brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery. The category is a broad term that encompasses any beer that is flavored with fruit. Brewers take different approaches to add fruity flavors to their brews. Some use fresh fruits or juice during fermentation, while others blend the beer with juice or age the beer with fresh fruit.

What happens when a dry white wine is fused with a wild ale? Apparently, this beer happens. Muscat grape notes waft from the glass, along with tinges of citrus, kiwi, light acidity and mild Brettanomyces barnyard nuances. Although not immensely complex, this vinous brew with a light/medium body comes across as delicious, quenching and entirely fascinating." Here at Beers of Europe we pride ourselves on having the widest selection of European and international beers around, and with plenty of Dutch beer to choose from we think you’ll find just what you’re after. But first, an overview… The 5% abv lemon & lime tipple will join lower-strength fruit-flavoured beers of recent years, including Carling Zest and Carlsberg Citrus - both 2.8% abv - and the 2% abv Foster’s Radler, but are “nothing like anything other brewers had produced”, said customer marketing manager Rob Salvesen. Available from mid-April, Kopparberg Fruit Lager will be an exciting addition to the brand’s current range and takes Kopparberg’s fruit expertise into the beer category, the company said. With an ABV of 5%, the drink will aim to extend the drinking occasion in the spring and summer months for younger millennial drinkers by giving them a refreshing alternative to other lagers on the market.

The cash will also go towards growing the team further following the appointment of Henry Brown from Budweiser Brewing Group as head of marketing late last year, as well as supporting expansion in the on-trade, which accounts for 75% of sales. Kopparberg Fruit Lager Lemon & Lime will make its debut in Asda at the end of February followed by Tesco and independents from April. It is pitched as a premium brew that contains all the ingredients of a traditional lager, but with a ‘lighter body’ to complement the drink’s citrus flavour profile. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.We wanted to position ourselves apart from both the low-abv fruit lagers and the traditional craft fruit beers that are lower-abv or heavy and ­full-bodied,” he said, adding the newcomer’s alcohol volume reinforced the drink’s “premium positioning”. Eichholz notes that fruit beer is an extremely diverse category, though the thread that ties it all together is the use of fruit to flavor beer. “Fruit is an amazing partner to beer and can enhance it in a variety of ways,” he says, highlighting that there are truly a “limitless number of ways” to integrate fruit with beer. Kopparberg senior marketing manager Jodie Alliss said: “Our research demonstrated that fruit is still a hit with our millennial drinkers, as our fruit ciders remain number one in the category. By launching Fruit Lager, we are extending the drinking occasion for those consumers, via an innovative product that combines subtle premium lager bitterness with Kopparberg’s expertise in fruit refreshment that fans know and love.”
