If you're gearing up for another Spiked Seltzer summer this year, get your beach cooler out there because you now have another option to try. Michelob ULTRA Organic Sparkling Water just launched, and it might be worth giving it a try before declaring it your official beach drink for 2021. As the first USDA-certified organic hard seltzer, Michelob claims it's "as real as the taste." From the taste to the sugar content, it’s no ordinary sparkling wine. Here's how Michelob's first hard seltzer compares to White Claw, Truly and Bud Light seltzer.
Michelob ULTRA Organic Sparkling Water Flavors
We're used to drinking fruity and citrus-flavored hard seltzers, but Michelob ULTRA adds an unexpected twist to its signature line. It comes in spicy pineapple, cucumber-lime and peach-pear flavors. More products will be launched later this year.
By comparison, White Claw's 11 flavors include black cherry, mango, natural lime, ruby grapefruit, raspberry, watermelon, lemon, orange, pineapple and clementine. Bud Light Seltzer comes in seven flavors: grapefruit, cranberry, pineapple, strawberry, lemon-lime, black cherry and mango. Truly is available in eight berry and tropical flavors including Black Cherry, Wild Berry, Blueberry and Acai, Raspberry Lime, Passion Fruit, Watermelon and kiwi, pineapple and mango.
How much sugar does Michelob ULTRA Organic Sparkling Water contain?
Spiked seltzers are known for their light, refreshing taste, so overall, these beers are lower in sugar. But Michelob's new hard seltzer contains no sugar at all. Its competitors aren't far behind, though—Truly has 1 gram of sugar, Bud Light Seltzer has less than 1 gram, and White Claw has 2 grams.
What is the alcohol content of Michelob ULTRA Organic Sparkling Water?
Michelob ULTRA Organic Seltzer has an alcohol content of 4%, consistent with other popular hard seltzers. Indeed, both Bud Light Seltzer and White Claw have 5% alcohol content.
Where can I buy Michelob ULTRA Organic Sparkling Water?
You can buy Michelob ULTRA in its iconic 12-pack of 12-ounce cans, 24-pack of 12-ounce cans, or 25-ounce cans online or wherever Michelob ULTRA is sold.
