Inspired by the iconic Kir Royale cocktail, this sparkling brew-based twist brings celebratory vibes to every pour. With bold black currant flavor at the forefront and a subtle lift from real lemon peel, this light-bodied brew is crisp, dry, and fruit-forward. Whether you're marking a milestone or simply elevating an ordinary moment, "Kir Royale" is a refreshing and refined way to raise your glass. Best served chilled and shared with a cheers.

Can, best before 8/27/26, drunk 2/17/26.
The fruit character is authentic and quite aromatic, though there's a bit of candy-like sweetness. Not much in the way of beer I can find, though. Not even any crusty, rustic wheat or lactic character (I thought this was a sour, but it's not).
Sweet and fruity with a hint of chew to the body. Very gentle acidity from the fruit. I guess it tastes like the cocktail? It's not too sweet (at least this can that I held a few weeks isn't; the first can I opened was borderline too sweet). Kind of a weird one. I mean, apparently they just wanted it to taste like the cocktail, but it really just tastes like a fruit beer, with significantly less emphasis on the beer aspect.
