Review: Vizzy Hard Seltzer Variety Pack 2

by Jeff Ellingson

Vizzy Hard Seltzer Variety Pack 2 was just released.  Vizzy is currently the fifth best selling hard seltzer brand, trailing only White Claw, Truly, Bud Light, and Corona.  With a second variety pack and Vizzy Lemonade Hard Seltzer coming soon, parent Molson-Coors has designs on improving that position.  Vizzy is only one of the brands produced by Molson-Coors.  Coors Hard Seltzer and the soon to be launched Topo Chico Hard Seltzer are part of their hard seltzer portfolio.  Like most hard seltzers Vizzy is made from a cane sugar alcohol base.  Unlike other hard seltzers Vizzy is made with dried acerola cherry juice an antioxidant rich super fruit with 30 times more vitamin C than an orange.  Each 12 oz. can contains 17 mg of vitamin C, 20% of the recommend daily dose.  Simple math tells me 5 cans of Vizzy = 100%.

Vizzy Raspberry Tangerine:  Made with Tangerine juice concentrate.  The aroma leads with fresh peeled tangerine followed by smashed raspberry.  The natural tangerine entry is joined by sweet raspberry building to a juicy tangerine peak.  It fades with tangy tangerine and raspberry puree leaving bright tangerine sherbet taste.

Grade: A-

Vizzy Watermelon Strawberry:  Made with Strawberry juice concentrate.  The aroma leads with watermelon.  Floral Lilly of the Valley and Strawberry jam follows.    The floral watermelon entry is joined by strawberry juice building to a sweet Jolly Ranch Watermelon peak.  It fades with tart strawberry and finishes with strawberry hand pie and candied watermelon taste.

Grade: B

Vizzy Papaya Passionfruit: Made with Passionfruit juice .  The aroma leads with tropical passion fruit.  Papaya follows.  The fresh papaya entry is joined by sweet passion fruit juice.  There is a real fruit juice taste to this which is a little surprising since it contains less than 1% juice.  It finishes with a tangy tropical citrus blend that includes pineapple, blood orange, and papaya.

Grade: B+

Vizzy Blackberry Lemon:  Made with Blackberry Juice concentrate.  It pure to a pale pink color.  The aroma leads with blackberry.  Lemonade follows.  The blackberry juice entry is joined by a squeeze of lemon building to a tart lemon blackberry pie peak.  It fades with juicy blackberry leaving lemon juice taste.

Grade: B+

The bottom line: Vizzy is a full flavored seltzer with little to no carbon seltzer aftertaste.  The fruit juice concentrate added to each variety makes it a little sweeter than some hard seltzers.
