malt beverage

Fermented grain liquid

A malt beverage is any drink made from fermented grain, especially barley that has been malted—allowed to germinate and then dried.

Beer is the classic malt beverage.

In American regulatory and marketing language, malt beverage often refers specifically to flavored alcoholic drinks that use a malt base but taste nothing like beer: hard seltzers and other malt beverages.
