White Claw hard seltzer...yea or nay?

[Value Buy]

Do you like it? I have tried two flavors and does nothing for me. More like it is just slightly flavored seltzer water.
Mow they claim there is a shortge of the stuff. In my area stores have large displays, so no shortage here....

I haven't tried White Claw specifically but other brands of hard seltzer and yes it is basically slightly flavored seltzer water with an alcohol content.  For those of us who want to drink alcohol but have no sugars or fake sugars they serve that purpose.  But yeah, sad flavored alcoholic seltzer is what they are.

"Scarcity" is good marketing.

I'd probably use it as a mixer for my vodka but that's about it.

^ish. I pack the black cherry into my cooler for the beach. I also have a bottle of vodka that lives in the cooler, to top off said cans of seltzer.

They seem to be getting pretty popular, but I don't think the taste is all that great.  Personally I'd prefer a bud light.

I've tried it as well as the Truly brand.  I prefer White Claw.

That being said, interesting to hear others use it as a mixer and will do so in the future.  As a stand-alone, they just don't get this ol' boozer very buzzed.

I tried the Truly one a few months ago. It's very meh. If I wanted super low calorie I'd just do vodka and seltzer with a small splash of juice.

For low carb I do unflavored vodka, club soda, and a squirt of lime.  I sometimes get crazy and add a few frozen blueberries.

I tried a lemon/lime kind of White Claw.   It was OK.  I'm not fond of the "malt" taste though.     I'd rather have some other cocktail in a can. 

The people I know who drink them - drink them for the low carb (low calorie) and how it's hard to get buzzed drinking them. And how they go down alittle slower than a beer.   

I did kind of chuckle to myself about how White Claw is basically Zima - which everyone made fun of.    

I'm not for or against White Claw.   If you are an adult you get to drink whatever you want. It's not my place to force you drink something you don't like. If someone feels the need to force me (or try to peer pressure me) into drinking it, oh well, I'll be discreetly pooring it out as I pretend to drink it.

I'm curious, and I'll probably try it at some point, but I suspect it won't be my thing. It seems like having jello for desert when you are craving ice cream.

I would rather drink straight New York seltzer water than White Claw......
I still miss Bartyles and Jaymes wine coolers. At least they were sweet and flavorful

Did this last night it did increase the buzz.     I ended up cutting the vodka and White Claw with a bit of club soda.
