E-Malt.com News article: USA: AB InBev taste-testing new margarita-flavoured beer for summer

Anheuser-Busch has begun taste-testing a new margarita-flavored drink: Bud Light Lime-A-Rita, STLToday.com reported on March, 7.

The brew appears to be another effort to tap growing demand for flavored malt beverages, and will be sold in cans at either 6 percent or 8 percent alcohol, according to labels approved in January by federal alcohol regulators.

An AB InBev spokesman would not comment on the product nor give a firm date for its release. But industry sources expect it will hit shelves in time for summer.
