Review: Vizzy Hard Seltzer Variety Pack 2
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.
