Four MaXed is a 16oz. aluminum-canned caffeinated alcoholic malt beverage sold in the United States and the European Union and produced by Phusion Projects Inc. of Chicago. It contains 10.0%ABV as well as carbonation, sugar and natural and artificial flavoring, similar to other alcopops. Currently there are two flavors available, grape and citrus. Four MaXed is also manufactured in The Netherlands for the EU version, which is bottled in a 8.3oz (250ml) glass bottle. The EU version contains Absinthe and is spirit-based instead of the US malt based version. Its name is derived from its four other ingredients, caffeine, taurine, guarana, and FDA-approved wormwood oil, the species of which is unknown.
