Weyermann on TV

I thought it was interesting that towards the end, after the Weyermann representative described the spice and/or herbal flavours, the reporter said: it's not beer then, but a malt beverage that tastes like beer. Isn't it true in some states in the US that beer is also called a malt beverage, but not because of the Reinheitsgebot, but because of tax laws or something?
