Breweries are currently enjoying brisk sales of beer-mixed beverages. To help manufacturers realize production and cost benefits, WILD offers Fructsweet®, the ideal sweetener for low-calorie beer-mixed drinks. A multi-fruit concentrate enhanced with sweeteners ensures better mouth feel and an optimal taste profile. The Fructsweet® sweetening system is best for beer-mixed drinks in which the malt flavor should be accentuated without creating an artificial aftertaste. Consumers reap the benefits of a 40% reduction in calories over standard beer-mixed drinks.

Fructsweet® offers breweries making beer-mixed drinks multiple advantages. It is extremely easy to use – the liquid fruit concentrate is already included in the flavor system. Unlike sugar syrup, Fructsweet® requires no pasteurization. Fructsweet® remains stable in the product and tastes sugar-sweet.

The sweetening system from WILD offers manufacturers clear cost benefits. Its high sweetness intensity means substantially less Fructsweet® is needed than sugar. In addition, the beer tax on drinks using Fructsweet® is less than on those using sugar, due to their lower Brix value. beer-mixed drinks sweetened with Fructsweet have a lower wort content and are therefore taxed at a lower rate.
