Yes — Malt Beverage is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday; it contains several industrial functional ingredients.
This appears to be a malt-based beverage containing water, malted wheat, barley, rye, oats, hops, yeast, and added functional ingredients. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains malted barley or grain extracts, a social blend, L-theanine, magnesium citrate, ashwagandha, soluble plant fibre, vitamin B, and an unspecified extract—industrial or isolated ingredients and functional additives used in a formulated ready-to-drink product. The malted grain component and added isolated compounds indicate processing beyond a simple traditional beverage.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
