Malt Beverage is a sweet malt-based soft drink popular in many Latin American, Caribbean and European markets — often enjoyed chilled as a non-alcoholic, malt-flavoured refresher. It’s known for a pronounced sweet, malty flavor and is commonly sold as 'Malta', 'Malt Water' or 'Malted Beverage'. Nutritionally, Malt Beverage is primarily a sugary carbohydrate beverage and contains about 16g of sugar per 100g, with very little protein, fat or fiber; it does provide small amounts of B vitamins such as niacin. Because it’s largely a sugary drink with minimal fiber or protein, it’s best consumed occasionally rather than as a daily staple. From a health perspective, Malt Beverage offers some micronutrients but lacks filling nutrients like fiber and quality protein, and it contributes free sugars — swapping to unsweetened beverages or a lower‑sugar malt alternative can help reduce added sugar intake while keeping a similar flavor profile.
