History & Background

Summer Bright Lager was introduced to give XXXX drinkers a full-strength (4.0% ABV) option with a genuinely low-carbohydrate profile, aimed at health-conscious drinkers who did not want to step down to mid-strength Gold to manage their carb intake. It has since become a platform for flavoured variants, including versions finished with natural lime and mango, positioning it as XXXX's answer to the broader Australian trend toward lighter, fruit-accented lagers. It is sold nationally within Australia and is not currently imported or distributed in India.

Production Method

Brewed to full strength (4.0% ABV) using a process designed to minimise residual carbohydrates, at the Castlemaine Perkins Milton brewery in Brisbane.
