The seltzer market has been exploding all over the place and so has the innovation. Here are a couple of things we noticed.

Sour seltzers are making a hit, not exactly liquid Sour Patch® candy, but more dry and sour. The best of these so far is Natural Light Sour Me Capple Green Apple with a score of 95. It's really a rich tart apple treat.

Super premium and therefore pricey selters are coming from various places. We like the Untitled Art (a notable, elite craft brewer) Pixie Mix series with their Capri Cooler. It cost a whopping $6.50 for a 16 oz. can (comparible to top craft beers) or about $19.00 per four. They use apple juice concentrate and pineapple puree (the later not very cheap) for a strong, richer flavor.

Stevia power is good as it's low calorie, from a natural plant, sometimes organic, and so far...so far not bad for us like artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucrolose. The Bang Mixx seltzers, versions of their energy drinks, are super....ultra-sweet with so much sucrolose they are literally liquid candy. You'll either hate the cloying, sickly sweet approach or adore them as super sweet treats.

Lemonades are everywhere and it's a "me too" (the good use of that phrase) situation with everyone exploring this market. These are mostly a 2021 breakthrough. They range from having some real lemon or lemon+lime juice to artificial lemonades.

Tea, green, black, or herbal is another trend. Saranac Green Tea series is pleasant and not sickly sweet like alcoholic teas tend to me. There is a use of herbal combinations such as hibiscus, elderberry, and others with a fruit main flavor.

Savory, herbed, or spiced seltzers occur and I'm not sure they always meant to be this way. They are noted in our reviews below. People are adding all sorts of things including savory herbs like basil to the mixes. In fact, the Press Grapefruit Cardamon is one of the very top flavors in our reviews to date. It really works!


To be considered here a label must contain alcohol unlike ordinary flavored waters. It must be flavored and not a raw, clean simple seltzer. It cannot be based on beer or another major class of alcholic beverage although some alcoholic seltzers are called "vodka water". In some regions seltzers qualify as "malt beverages" and in this regard they share an affinity with some beers. It should not be full of special herbs, vitamins or other additions including Kombucha. Mainly water, alcohol, a sweetening source (cane sugar, Stevia, etc.) and flavor. They must also be clear but can have slight coloration. While some hard seltzers are based on lemonades they are not traditional "hard lemonade" (like Mike's brand) which contains large amounts of sugar and/or fructose.

In general, if a product contains any of these words we do not review it: Kombucha, soda, beer, flavored ale, cocktail, mixed drink, wine cooler

Beginning in May 2021 we are now including wine-based hard seltzers.

The dividing line between a low calorie hard seltzer and cocktails in a can is a fine. Are the double cal Malibu Splash products really a seltzer with 210 or 222 calories per 12 fl. oz. can? They are certainly lower than many of the sugar and fructose-infused cocktail products but their added sugar does improve the appeal for the most part.



A minimum of two reviewers are required to write a review from our office. We accept single reviewer comments from external sources. After meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria stated above. Our major criteria for high scores are as follows:

1. True, realistic flavor compared to the real fruit, vegetable, spice, or other major component named as the flavor(s).,
2. Deep and complexity of the flavor, comprising not a few basic chemicals (or real fruit puree) but a sophisticated, layered taste.
3. Harmony and synergy between two or more flavors (if applicable)
4. Generally refreshing or enjoyment quality for this type of beverage.
5. Lack of odd, strange, and unpleasant flavor notes
6. Appropriate degree of sweetness, dryness, and tartness for the flavors, not overly tart/acidic, not too sweet, not too dry
7. Reasonable degree of carbonation, not too low and not excessive.
8. Comparison to competitors on the market with a similar flavor name or profile.
9. We do not evaluate based on the process, formula, recipe, ABV%, price, or ingredients unless they impact the above. Being gluten-free, real fruit juice, zero sugar, organic, or vegan may be noted but does not impact the score. We leave those decisions to the consumer.


Many hard seltzers are regional just like the breweries and distillaries who make them are side projects. While we try to travel in this current environment we cannot buy everything. Even mailorder suppliers don't stock everything and many filter you out by shipping location. If you have a review please sent it ornamentals  @ lycos.com with Seltzerev in the subject line. We will credit you by name, initials, nickname, or nothing as you specify. We also accept alternative opinions for existing reviews and those will be included as well.


How is hard seltzer made? Most brands are fermented cane sugar just as the Brazilian drink Cachaca. Others are malt beverages using malted barley just like a light beer or those big 40 ounce bottles. I've noticed a couple of labels that say cane sugar is added to alcohol as two separate ingredients. One can purchase vodka-like, pure, highly distilled ethanol and make a seltzer-type drink out of it. The original Mike's Hard Lemonade was based on vodka but today uses a propertiary malted barley and yeast concoction; being much less expensive. Seltzer carbonation can be partly natural from fermentation just like a bottle-conditioned sparkling wine (aka Champagne) or aged beer will be very fizzy but at this price point most seltzers have carbon dioxide pumped into their water portion. Truly for example lists "filtered carbonated water" (basic seltzer) first and then alcohol second. Natural flavor is third and cane sugar fourth. Some breweries are very familiar with using rice, a cheap grain but one that also mellows the flavor profile. It should also be noted that any carbonated beverage is likely to  get you buzzed quicker compared to non-carbonated beverages. The simple explanation is that this gas increased stomach and gut pressure, leading to quicker absoption of the ethanol through the stomach or gut lining. Scientific studies has shown this fact and over. Vodka with carbonated water added is absorbed more quickly than pure vodka in clinical tests.

You may see rice and malt in what are malt beverage type hard seltzers. Seltzer makers sometimes add citric acid and sodium citrate to make the flavors more tart, specially those with a citrus or lemonade theme. Cane sugar is still sugar and it is not healthy in any real quantity. However, cane sugar is not associated with many of the health risks that high fructose corn syrup provides in classic cocktail or soda recipes.

Some of us have moved to hard seltzers because they contain fewer purines and yeast than beer; two major reasons for painful gout flareups. Beer and wine producers generally don't have to list their adjuncts, flavoring agents, foaming control agents, preservatives and all sorts of potentially unpleasant things politely called "congeners". Congeners vary with brand and beverage, sometimes giving a brand it's unique flavor profile. They are the best explanation of why should not normally mix wine, beer, and hard liquor in one day - you get a big, highly diverse dose of headache-inducing congeners. Hard seltzers are generally free of congeners or at least the big nasty ones; another reason they are less likely to induce hangover symptoms.

Hard seltzer makers are generally very open with all their ingredients, something which cannot be said of other flavored things in a can or bottle. Hard seltzers as far as we know do not contain sulfites, a group of chemicals which give some people severe headaches when found in wine.


An elite hard seltzer is first and foremost flavorable and the notes of the flavor are true to the stated fruit, vegetables, spice, herb, or other beverages in the name. The more complex and believable those natural, true flavors, the better. Real fruit will rare is also going to make the flavor pop.They should taste like the real thing off the vine or tree or bush and not a popular, artificial candy flavoring. The carbonation should be strong and visible but not to access as that ruins the drinking experience and causes belching.There should generally be a lack of anything artificial like man-made sweetners or sugar alcohols which do not exist in nature. Organic is a plus but we do not yet add points for that. If the flavor is blend of two or more flavors they must harmonize well and not fight or dominant the other. A good lemon seltzer is likely to be tart or acidic but never to extremes. A little sweetness is good but excessive sugaring up, even if by Stevia, can make the thing cloying and sickly sweet. Preservatives like sodium benzoate are best avoided but you will find them listed now and again.


We welcome submissions of product direct from brewers/distillers. To qualify for a review a product must be marketed in at least one country or if the US a minimum of different states.

Weakish berry, not rich, lime seems missing 273 Crook & Marker Watermelon Lemonade 89 11.5 4.0 80 7.0 0.46 USDA organic.Mix of real flavor and candy watermelon, Stevia is very sweet 274 Corona Blackberry Lime 89 12 4.5 90 7.5 0.54 2 preservatives. Quite tart, berry and lime accurate, too acidic for easy drinking 275 Bud Light Sugar Plum 89 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 Stevia. Light plum but not terribly rich nor real. Was expecting more really. Disappointing but drinkable 276 White Claw Mango 88 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 pleasant, refreshing but not particularly a real fruit note 277 Westbrook Orange Creamsicle 88 16 5.0 150 9.4 0.80 Orange puree. Unusually savory, not very tart, real orange, vegetal, odd 278 Three Birds Classic Lemonade 88 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 >1%lemon juice. Compared to Mike's Hard or Lemon Seltzer it's pretty bad 279 Smirnoff Berry Lemonade 88 12 4.5 90 7.5 0.54 much more berry than lemon, quite dry, hybrid berry mix up 280 Omission Orange Twist 88 12 4.0 90 7.5 0.48 very dry, like a watered down orangeade, low cal but why bother? 281 Loud Lemon Peach Lemonade 88 12 5.0 140 11.7 0.60 5% lemon juice. Get lemon plus something, not really very peachy, curious 282 Kona Spiked Island Starfruit/Lime 88 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 zero sugar. Lime with more tropicality, not the best lime out there 283 Four Loko Sour Blue Razz 88 12 14.0 1.68 sucralose. Very strange mix of real raspberry, odd savory and sweet notes, high ABV, hard to like it 284 Bold Rock Strawberry Lemonade 88 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 Strawberry and lemon go well but that Stevia finish is strange once again 285 Wild Basin Black Raspberry 87 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 citric acid is added, soft berry, semi-authentic, a bit dull 286 Truly Hard Orange 87 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 a very watered down orangeade, not a clear flavor, why bother? 287 Sound Craft Grapefruit 87 12 5.0 105 8.8 0.60 real fruit. Strangely savory, mellow, never tart. Odd flavor but you get used to it 288 Raleigh Mountains to Sea Watermelon of the Falls 87 12 4.4 .0 0.53 Neither a real fruit nor artificial flavor, very strange, overall quite weak, useless 289 Omission Grapefruit 87 12 4.0 90 7.5 0.48 Semi-convincing grapefruit, very dry, there are better choices 290 Naked Barrel Tangerine 87 12 4.5 100 8.3 0.54 real fruit/barrel-aged wild ale. Tangerine is weak and acidic, not enjoyable as a seltzer or an ale. Odd 291 Kona Spiked Island Tropical Punch 87 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 zero sugar. Hints of Hawaian Punch to dry, weaker, not a hit with us 292 Isla (R&D) Tropical 87 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 passionfruit,orange,guava are strong, very odd at times, hard to sip, disappointing 293 BASIC Lemon 87 12 4.5 90 7.5 0.54 very weak lemon flavor does not impress, one of the least real lemons out there 294 Natural Light Sour Slice for What Lemon 86 12 6.0 .0 0.72 Calories? Not a true lemon nor a good artificial one. Still it's okay, passable 295 Destihl Raspberry Lime 86 16 5.0 140 8.8 0.80 real fruit. Much more lime than berry, neither are very impressive. Disappointing. 296 Bud Light Strawberry 86 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 good berry flavor, some off less authentic notes, disappointing 297 Bold Rock Blood Orange Lemonade 86 12 5.0 100 8.3 0.60 An odd amalgam of flavors, tart lemon, very odd orange, and Stevia nip 298 Smirnoff Zero Sugar Orange 85 12 4.5 90 7.5 0.54 very strange, almost an artificial orange candy type flavor, hard to comprehend 299 Bubs Pink Cherry Lemonade 85 12 4.0 77 6.4 0.48 fermented dextrose. Very dry, more cherry than lemon. Fairly average to mediocre 300 Omission Pomegranate Blueberry Acai 82 12 4.0 90 7.5 0.48 oddly bitter, not convincing except for acai part, a bit unpleasant 301 Natural Light Sour Razzle Dazzle Blue Raspberry 81 12 6.0 .0 0.72 Calories? Blue raspberry is an invented, fake flavoring. Not horrible but close 302 Naked Barrel Cherry Lime 79 12 4.5 100 8.3 0.54 real fruit/barrel-aged wild ale. Very strange blend of flavors, none very real, oddly savory, some butterscotch notes, almost bad 303 Brizo (Noda) Raspberry Lemon 79 16 4.9 130 8.1 0.78 gluten reduced. Oddly savory, not delicious nor refreshing, very strange brew 304 Drink Four Loco Sour Mango 75 23.5 12.0 .0 2.82 Sucrolose. Calories unknown.
