  1. Feb 1, 2019 · Sobering news out of the flavored-seltzer sector today: The natural flavorings that many of us have come to love and rely upon might not always be so natural after all. (Suspending for a moment the debate over what “natural” really means.) While the government requires “natural flavoring” in food to come in some way from actual plant or ...

  2. Jun 17, 2024 · The only seltzer that tasted synthetic to our testers was the prickly pear, which erred on the sweeter side and had an off-putting perfume flavor we disliked. Flavors: original (agave nectar and ...

    • Pineapple. List slides 1. “Oh!” This was an actual thing I exclaimed when I popped the top on my can of Truly Pineapple and took a sniff. Eyes closed, there’d be no way to tell that your nose isn’t hovering above a cutting board of freshly sliced pineapple.
    • Grapefruit. List slides 2. Ah, pamplemousse. Will your wonders never cease? Everything that makes grapefruit a slog to eat on its own—bitterness, pithiness, an overwhelming tartness—work with Truly’s mysterious alchemy to elevate the entire product.
    • Lemon. List slides 3. Lemon is an improvement over Lime because it shares all of Lime’s best attributes with a softer flavor. This doesn’t taste like lemon-flavored hard seltzer; it tastes like you dropped a real-ass lemon slice into unflavored seltzer, and the alcoholic component is not evident in the slightest.
    • Raspberry Lime. List slides 4. Truly boasts exactly what it lacks, or at least has very little of: gluten, calories, carbs, sugar—some Truly fans even cite its less aggressive bubbles as a reason they prefer it to White Claw.
  3. Sep 21, 2023 · ABV. 5%. $17.99 at Total Wine. Brooklyn Brewery is a powerhouse when it comes to craft beer, so its entry into hard seltzers came as a surprise. Let’s just say it’s as good as you’d expect. The flavors aren’t too wild — grapefruit, lemon-cloudberry. black cherry-apricot and mango — but the drinkability is exceptional.

    Sweet wafts of strawberry and iced tea emanate from this seltzer. The tea aromas are the more noticeable of the two, but the strawberry provides a subtle fruitiness. Then, intense sweet flavors overtake everything, causing each sip to feel a little out of balance.

    In contrast to the Strawberry Tea, it is the fruit notes that lead the aromas in this expression, with the tea playing second fiddle. Once again, the flavor profile skews noticeably sweet and may have you craving more acidity to balance things out.

    One of Truly’s two higher-ABV “Extra” hard seltzers, peach and mango aromas arrive headier here than in the brand’s standard offerings. Luscious sweetness defines the palate, but does a great job of masking its boozier credentials.

    There’s a nice depth to the aromas of this expression but the fruit character fails to fully capture the imagination. While the mango flavors are not quite as prominent as the sweet lemonade, they add an extra layer and an enjoyable seasoning.

    Across all hard seltzer producers, the quality of mango flavors varies wildly. Truly does a good job with its offering, even if the fruit notes come across as more artificial-tasting than fresh. There’s good balance and a refreshing finish.

    While its pink hue may be barely perceptible, the familiar black cherry flavoring (a mix of almonds and medicine) is unmistakable on this seltzer’s nose. Lemon and citrus overtake those “cherry” notes on the palate — this is a good thing — and the sweetness arrives at just the right pitch.

    The fruit character shines brighter here than on the Extra Peach Mango. The raspberry notes lean tart on the nose but arrive sweet and juicy on the palate. The rich sweetness won’t be for everyone but there is a good balance between the fruit flavor and the booze.

    Ripe and attractive strawberry aromas pop on this expression’s aromas. The palate is all about lemony sweetness, with just a hint of strawberry on the finish.

    Not just a great combo for breakfast bowls, the one-two of blueberry and acai is a hit in seltzer form. While the overall profile is more basic than other Truly flavors, the balance is there and each sip is refreshing.

    A subtle raspberry aroma precedes this expression’s palate, which is fruity with an attractive floral finish. There’s a great concentration of flavors, too, and nice weight to the texture.
