Perceived as a lighter and healthier alternative to beer, hard seltzer is not just an alcoholic beverage that's popular during the summer months, as proven by Bud Light's new pumpkin spice seltzer. The new spiked seltzer is said to perfectly capture the taste of fall with a blend of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla flavors.
While some of the best-selling hard seltzers on the market are fresh and fruity, brands are introducing unique new varieties that deliver different kinds of experiences with favorite ingredients, especially ones that are seen as seasonal treats.
This new Bud Light beverage can be found in a fall-themed variety pack, which also includes cozy flavors like toasted marshmallow, maple pear and apple crisp.
