Jillz
Jillz, (''formerly known as Charli'') is a mix of cider, barley and water with a fruity flavor. The drink is called a “Sparkling Cider Blend” and contains 5 percent alcohol. Jillz is brewed by Heineken, a Dutch brewing company, and is available both bottled in supermarkets and on tap in bars. After research showed that in Britain “Charli” is slang for cocaine, this name was changed. With this drink, Heineken targets consumers who go out regularly but cannot identify with the current variety of alcoholic beverages. Research performed by Heineken indicates that 63% of women find the taste of Beer too bitter. In contrast to beer, Jillz does not contain hops.

Hops
Hops are the flowers (also called seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant '' Humulus lupulus'', a member of the Cannabaceae family of flowering plants. They are used primarily as a bittering, flavouring, and stability agent in beer, to which, in addition to bitterness, they impart floral, fruity, or citrus flavours and aromas. Hops are also used for various purposes in other beverages and herbal medicine. The hops plants have separate female and male plants, and only female plants are used for commercial production. The hop plant is a vigorous, climbing, herbaceous perennial, usually trained to grow up strings in a field called a hopfield, hop garden (in the South of England), or hop yard (in the West Country and United States) when grown commercially. Many different varieties of hops are grown by farmers around the world, with different types used for particular styles of beer. The first documented use of hops in beer is from the 9th century, though Hildegard of Binge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
