From the label

“TTB class 906 MALT BEVERAGES SPECIALITIES - FLAVORED; label explicitly states 'MALT BEVERAGE WITH ARTIFICAL FLAVOR' and 'HARD ROOT BEER'. This is a flavored malt beverage (FMB) product that does not present as beer — it is marketed as a hard root beer (a non-beer malt beverage category), not as an ale, lager, IPA, or any beer style. The regulatory classification and explicit 'MALT BEVERAGE' designation confirm non-beer status.”
