"In the glass-or rather, the can-SWRL delivers a mouthfeel closer to a pet-nat (pétillant naturel) wine than a standard seltzer. Once swirled, the rice sediment blends into a creamy, silky fizz with a gentle tang, reminiscent of kombucha but softer and rounder. The bubbles stay delicate, allowing the cloudy body and rice character to lead rather than disappear. Across the lineup, the goal is consistent: keep the sip light while letting Makgeolli's natural rice texture and nuanced flavors shine through."
"Original: Delicately rice-forward with subtle natural sweetness and a smooth, creamy finish. Yuzu & Pine Needles: Opens with bright citrus and a crisp herbal note, finishing clean with a resinous pine edge. Earl Grey: Layers bergamot aromatics with a gentle fermented grip, evoking a tea-like complexity with a cloudy twist. Mixed Cherries: Starts juicy and tart, then settles into a plush rice note that prevents the fruit from veering into cloying sweetness."
SWRL launches a Makgeolli-style hard seltzer in the U.S. that prioritizes rice fermentation, texture, and flavor over crystal-clear clarity. The product features a softly cloudy body and a swirl-to-sip ritual that integrates rice sediment into a creamy, silky fizz reminiscent of pet-nat wine and softer kombucha. Four flavor expressions—Original, Yuzu & Pine Needles, Earl Grey, and Mixed Cherries—balance rice character with distinct aromatic and fruit notes. Key specs are 3.7% ABV, 89 calories, zero sugar, gluten-free and vegan. The offering targets consumers seeking deeper flavor, sensory texture, and intentional drinking experiences.
