![]() ![]() ![]() I think the main appeal to this seltzer is its 12 percent ABV. Just one sip and I was instantly reminded of the nauseating cherry-flavored medicine I took growing up. Ideally I would’ve gone with the latter, but the stores around me only carried black cherry. They offer two options - black cherry and mango. Unfortunately, the brand’s take on hard seltzer didn’t hold back with the flavor, either. A regular Four Loko smacks you with an artificial sweetness that makes you second guess the ingredients you’re pouring down your throat. To me, spiked seltzers should have a distinct “LaCroix” quality to them, only tasting faintly of their respective flavors. I never thought of myself as the type to drink a Four Loko at 2 p.m., but that’s quarantine, baby. I give it my highest recommendation.įour Loko Hard Seltzer Camryn DeLuca/For The Diamondback It’s the only flavor that doesn’t get too sticky sweet in the back of your throat. You’d think it’d be grossly sugary, but the taste remains light and matches perfectly with the fizz of the seltzer. In a variety pack with four flavors including lime, raspberry and grapefruit, the black cherry stands out above the rest. With only 5 percent ABV in a 12-ounce can, you can afford to do that. If we weren’t in a pandemic, I’d prefer to down four of these in two hours at an IFC tailgate. There’s nothing like sipping one of these poolside. White Claw Hard Seltzer Julia Nikhinson/The Diamondback Watermelon & Kiwi? Adult Capri Sun vibes. Pineapple? Poolside at a Caribbean resort. Not to mention, Truly’s tropical mix pack is unmatched. With three variety mix packs - berry, citrus and tropical - and one rosé, Truly also has a larger selection of flavors than White Claw, so there’s more opportunity to spice up your darty. As someone who really hates seltzer (don’t ask me why I keep drinking hard seltzer, I have no answer), I welcome the focus on the fruit flavor over the carbonic acid. While neither brand tastes like alcohol (like, at all), Truly tastes a lot less like seltzer. It’s not true, but I can pretend!Īnd, actually, I think they taste better. I feel like I can walk up to the cashier without the fear of exposing myself as a frat-going, lightweight college girl. The two brands are almost identical - 5 percent alcohol by volume, 12 ounces, 100 calories, 2 grams of carbs - except I don’t feel embarrassed to buy Truly. Truly Hard Seltzer is like White Claw’s underrated, hipster sibling. ![]()
