Unlike Truly Hard Seltzer's original flavors, Truly Lemonade and Truly Iced Tea that boast 5% ABV, the all-new Truly Extra Hard Seltzer comes in at 8% ABV and promises an extra kick. As one of the first brands of its kind to launch a higher ABV choice, Truly Hard Seltzer is setting itself apart with a product that has just a single gram of sugar and 220 calories per each 16-ounce can.
The Black Raspberry and Peach Mango Truly Extra flavors were created to appeal to convenience store shoppers who are looking for single-serve, higher ABV beverages that still provide all the refreshment of a regular hard seltzer. While many gravitate to hard seltzers because they are on par with light beer, these options appeal to those who want more variety.
