History & Background

XXXX Ultra was developed to give health-conscious drinkers a genuinely zero-carbohydrate option without leaving the XXXX family, brewed at a lower 3.8% ABV to keep it firmly in the light, easy-drinking category. It launched as Castlemaine Perkins responded to a broader Australian shift toward low-carb and zero-carb beer options across the market, competing directly with rivals like Great Northern Zero Carb and Hahn Super Dry. It is sold within Australia and is not currently imported or distributed in India.

Is XXXX Ultra actually zero carb?

Yes, it is brewed specifically using a zero-carbohydrate process, distinguishing it from XXXX Summer Bright Lager, which is low-carb but not zero-carb. This makes Ultra the choice within the range for drinkers strictly managing carbohydrate intake.

What is the price of XXXX Ultra in Australia?

XXXX Ultra is priced around AUD 3.16 per 330ml bottle in Queensland, AUD 3.33 in New South Wales and Victoria, AUD 3.60 in Western Australia, and AUD 4.00 in the Northern Territory, based on typical six-pack pricing. It is also sold in 375ml cans at a similar per-unit price.

Does XXXX Ultra taste different from other zero-carb beers?

It shares the light, clean, relatively neutral profile common to most zero-carb lagers on the Australian market, with minimal malt sweetness and a thinner body than XXXX Gold or Bitter, prioritising drinkability over flavour intensity.

Is XXXX Ultra suitable for a low-calorie diet?

Its zero-carb brewing process generally correlates with a lower calorie count than XXXX Gold or Bitter, making it a reasonable choice for drinkers watching both carbohydrate and overall calorie intake, though it is still an alcoholic beverage and should be consumed in moderation.
