New Belgium Fruit Smash Pink Lemonade

What the brewers say

“When life gives you lemons, squeeze the seltzer out of those naughty li’l fruits. Light pink seltzer with lemon and raspberry flavors.”

What our panel thought

“Bursting, approachable fresh watermelon, lemon, berry aromatics. Flavor falls short of the bold aromatics. Tart citrus notes overpower any fruity sweetness in the flavor, creating a snappy bite to the finish but stripping away any subtle mid-palate sweetness.”

What our editors thought

“Broad, simple pink-lemonade aroma. Semidry sip avoids sweeter clichés, remains simple but without as much to hang on to.”
