Since the day of its creation it has been supped straight from the glass bottle with a slice of lemon popped in the top. So, there's no need for a glass or ice. Cider is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. Although cider can be made from any variety of apple, certain cultivars are preferred in some regions, and these may be known as cider apples.

A premium, natural beer brewed according to the German Purity Law of 1516, using only the finest imported ingredients certified to contain no genetically modified organisms. This beer is mild in bitterness with a distinctive hops flavour, delivering an exquisite taste profile.

As a line extension of Castle Lager, Castle Lite was launched in January 1994 as a new premium offering. With 25% less kilojoules than Castle Lager, it targeted consumers who were looking for a lighter, healthier drinking option.
