Drink malt is a term used to describe three types of alcoholic beverages: BEER, ALE, and STOUT. BEER is a light-colored, carbonated beverage made from malted barley, hops, and water. ALE is a type of BEER that is brewed using warm fermentation, which produces a sweet, full-bodied flavor. STOUT is a dark, heavy BEER made with roasted malt or roasted barley, hops, and yeast. All three drinks are made with malt, which is a grain that has been allowed to partially germinate and then dried.
