Yes, absolutely. That was one of the issues we came into this with, which is that it is brewed as beer. Eighty per cent of the water is taken out of it through a process after the brewery, so the excise is applied at the brewery. The full excise is realized there, and then in transport it goes up to a higher alcohol level. We didn't want it to be treated as spirits, because it is still a beer concentrate. When it's reconstituted at the end, the excise is applied there as well, at the consumer level. It is beer throughout the whole process.
