Huttese ale, a drink favored by Hutts, was a yellow and effervescent ale typically dispensed in mugs. A notable characteristic of Huttese ale was its tendency to dissolve its serving vessel if not consumed promptly. Filba, a Hutt soldier serving the Galactic Republic, enjoyed Huttese ale while stationed at Republic Mobile Surgical Unit 7 on the planet Drongar.
This particular ale made its debut in MedStar I: Battle Surgeons, the initial novel in the MedStar Duology. Michael Reaves and Steve Perry authored Battle Surgeons, which saw publication in 2004.
