For the sake of our test, we sampled the classic White Claw variety pack and Truly's Tropical Mix and Citrus Mix (not pictured).
The White Claw flavors we sampled included natural lime, raspberry, ruby grapefruit, and black cherry.
The Truly flavors we sampled included orange, lime, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple, mango, passion fruit, and pomegranate.
On our taste test form, White Claw received a 100% 5 rating on a 1-5 scale of "terrible to awesome."
It ws clearly a fan favorite.
The group loved it. "Much better than I expected!" one colleague wrote. "Crushable, chuggable, just perfect to drink and not overthink."
Though we were split on our favorite flavors, the general consensus was that we really enjoyed them all.
"Better than actual seltzer, love the real fruit taste," a colleague wrote.
"It tastes good at first, but then it has a weird, sour aftertaste," one colleague wrote. "I don't like Truly," said another.
On the whole, we simply weren't as excited about Truly as we were about White Claw.
"It's fine," wrote one taster. "Good, kind of unremarkable," said another.
