It’s not that this flavor is bad, so much as it just tastes overly artificial - which might lead you to believe that all of Truly’s flavors taste similarly fake. ![]() During the Great White Claw’s initial release on the market, White Claw Mango was one of the hardest flavors to find, and if you turned to Truly’s version as a substitute you probably wrote the brand off then and there - I don’t blame you. Of White Claw’s five flavors, Truly makes four of them and they do them all better with the exception of Truly Mango. The Verdict: Alcoholic Capri-Sun, only not as good as your nostalgia might lead you to imagine. It’s hard to appreciate the flavors here because they aren’t distinct enough to differentiate, instead what should be a complex and multi-layered blend of flavors ends up tasting like somebody threw a bunch of random fruit into your vodka soda, and then fished it out with their hands when you weren’t looking. Raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry - how could you go wrong? I couldn’t tell you, but Truly could, and the answer comes in a can. Wild Berry suffers from the same problems as Truly Raspberry Lime, it’s a muddled mess that is less than the sum of its parts. I don’t know what it is about Truly’s berry blends, but they just miss the mark for me. The Verdict: Sometimes, less is more, and in the case of Truly, one flavor trumps two. There’s a tart aftertaste that lingers on the tongue a lot longer than the plain Truly Lime’s flavor. Truly has too many flavors - having a Lime and Raspberry Lime flavor is just redundant, especially when they taste this similar - and if we had to lose one we’d choose Truly Raspberry Lime. But it doesn’t taste better, and it really feels like it should. When you crack open a can you’re greeted with a refreshing blast of fragrant fruity notes that smell way more appetizing than its sister flavor, Truly Lime. That’s not to say Raspberry Lime is bad - it isn’t. ![]() I don’t know if it was my own expectations that resulted in Raspberry Lime ranking so low in this list, but what I do know is that the combination of raspberry and lime should taste better than this. ![]() The Verdict: Everything you hate about pink wine and hard seltzer - in one convenient can! Skip this one. The fizz of the seltzer overwhelms the fruity notes of the Rosé, resulting in an overly candied flavor that tastes cheap. Not a terrible concept, but it definitely doesn’t work. But I get what they were thinking - they wanted to give us the best of both worlds, everything we love about hard seltzer and pink wine. Now I’ll admit, I’m not the biggest rosé fan to begin with, but if you’re curious as to what this tastes like in comparison to actual rosé then the answer is - awful. Every ranking has a bottom, and in this ranking, it’s Truly Rosé.
