Michelob Ultra Seltzer Review {VLOG}
In today’s NJroute22.com VLOG – it seems that the heavyweight champ of seltzers finally has a real contender! Michelob Seltzer!
Since we began reviewing spiked seltzers (in which Smirnoff was the first) a few years ago – Smirnoff Zero Sugar Seltzer has really held the top spot the entire time.
They got “threatened” a couple of times, but our reviews were revised, and Smirnoff remained the top-ranked seltzer of choice here at this low-carb house.
But now we really do have a bonafide competitor in the new Michelob Ultra Organic Seltzer.
The specs for Michelob Ultra Organic Seltzer
This new Michelob Seltzer rings in at 4% alcohol.
It also is one of the only seltzer without fake sugars that claims it has ZERO carbs as well as ZERO sugar!
We do not care about calories. A wasted metric that has run its course for us. Entirely useless when you are a carnivore.
What is the verdit for Michelob Seltzer?
There are a few reasons why Michelob is now literally tied for first place with Smirnoff.
One, we LOVE zero carb. That gives them major points. While 1g of carbs per can doesn’t impact our lives whatsoever, the mental benefit of having NO carbs is a plus.
Two, the flavors are great. We like the fact that they keep it simple and only have three: Spicy Pineapple, Cucumber Lime, and Peach Pear. Each one is tasty on its own, or watered-down like we prefer.
A funny thing we noticed – was that the “paltry” 4% alcohol didn’t have any noticeable negative effect. We felt the same kind of buzz as the Smirnoff’s. When you do the math – it’s such an insignificant difference. To get the same alcohol content as 9 Smirnoff’s – you’d have to drink 10 Michelob Seltzers. Who’s counting at that point?
Lastly – we could care less whether it’s “organic” or not. That type of gimmickry is for other people, not us.
The only thing that prevents Michelob Ultra Seltzer from being “UNDISPUTED” is the price. Yeah, nit-picking here – but they’re $2 more per case. Probably because of “organic.”
While we’ll still love tinkering around with other brands because we cannot stop being curious – Michelob Ultra and Smirnoff are without a doubt our two top faves.
