Which beverage qualifies as a malt beverage?

• A. A beer brewed from malt with over 0.5% ABV.
• B. A wine produced from grapes.
• C. A distilled spirit.
• D. A cider.

Answer: (A)

Malt beverages are defined by their production from malted grains, producing beer-like drinks through fermentation of malt. The beverage described as beer brewed from malt fits this category because its basis is malted grains, a defining feature of malt beverages. The other options come from different sources or processes: wine is made from grapes, distilled spirits are produced by distillation after fermentation, and cider is made from fermented fruit juice. So the beer made from malt is the one that qualifies as a malt beverage.
