Birell Lemon & Pomegranate: the Taste Palette Is Getting Wider

Citrus–flavoured beer drinks are very popular and so Birell taking this opportunity to offer its consumers a new novelty. The combination of lemons and nontraditional pomegranate offers a truly unique flavour experience that is pleasantly refreshing.

„We would like to offer most diverse flavour variants that will attract as many consumers as possible. They are great before or after various sport activities, or during the family trip. Thanks to the rich palette of flavours, it is possible to enjoy Birell with any kind of healthy meal,“ said Luděk Baumruk, marketing director of Plzeňský Prazdroj Company.

The fruit varieties are aimed at those who look for light refreshment. The novelty Birell Lemon & Pomegranate is not as sweet as Lime & Raspberry too. Birell Light keeps especially pleasing those who enjoy true beer taste and typical beer flare. Birell Semi-dark completes the flavor palette with its strong and full taste typical for dark beers known for their hints of caramel.

Same as other varieties, Birell Lemon & Pomegranate does not contain any preservatives or artificial coloring. Thanks to its low calorie content, Birell is suitable as an active lifestyle drink, and it is an ideal choice for replenishing of necessary fluids. The novelty hits the market in 0.5l cans.
