First Flavored Malt Beverage Made with Hemp Seeds
Hemp is here. FIFCO USA, formerly North American Breweries, is launching a new hemp-style flavored malt beverage in February 2019. Hemptails is a ready-to-drink, alcoholic beverage perfect for consumers looking to embrace the hemp movement in their drinking experience.
With an 8% ABV, Hemptails is made with organic, sterilized hemp seeds and contains no psychoactive ingredients, allowing consumers to enjoy an herbal hemp aroma and flavor in a delicious FMB.
Starting in February 2019, Hemptails will be available nationwide in single serve 23.5-ounce cans and four packs of 16-ounce cans. Consumers can choose from three chilled out flavors: Hemp’d, Citrus Gold and Passionfruit Express. Each flavor balances the earthy hemp quality with a light, fruity taste.
Although hemp is a derivative of cannabis, the seeds do not have any psychoactive effects. Hemp is an all-natural, multipurpose material used in food, clothes, makeup and more.
“Hemp is an amazing, versatile plant and by introducing it into the FMB space, we’ve created an entirely new drinking experience,” said Jennifer McCauley, brand manager for Hemptails. “Hemptails allows consumers to enjoy hemp in a completely different and exciting way.”
