Spiked Snowmelt Tangerine & Hops Craft Hard Seltzer Offers True Fruit Flavor

Spiked Snowmelt Tangerine & Hops Craft Hard Seltzer— There is nothing quite like the taste of citrus. While the most common citrus flavors are orange, lemon, and lime, you should not forget about all the wonderful attributes of tangerine. It is a little like an orange, but with a personality and flair all its own. Tangerines are a bit smaller than oranges and tend to be a little less round. Ripe tangerines are firm with a soft skin. The taste is similar to orange but far sweeter and stronger, and less sour. Tangerine flavor is a lot like adding a dose of sunshine to your diet. Now you can enjoy the luscious sunny fruit flavor in Spiked Snowmelt Tangerine & Hops Craft Hard Seltzer – a vibrant and enjoyable beverage through and through.

Fresh Fruit Aroma

When you first open a can of Spiked Snowmelt Tangerine & Hops Craft Hard Seltzer you are greeted by a very pleasant aroma. Hints of fruit flavor tickle the nose. The fragrance is very authentic. You get distinct nodes of clementine tangerine and Christmas orange. You can also smell the nutty earthiness of the hops. Hops are known to add a slight bitterness to beverages. This tangerine seltzer contains 5% alcohol by volume (ABV), similar to that of White Claw’s tangerine flavor. It is a little higher in calorie count than most hard sparkling waters, coming in at 110 calories per serving (one can). But it is still not a high calorie beverage by any means. Each drink contains 2 grams of total carbs and 2 grams of total sugars. And it is also gluten free.
