I Tried Nütrl’s 2 New Flavors, Here’s My Review of Peach and Blueberry

Nütrl just dropped two new flavors: peach and blueberry. Are they any good? Should they be in your cooler this summer? I tasted them both, so read on to find out.

What’s the deal with Nütrl? Well, for a long time, Nütrl was only available in Canada. But in 2020, we gave Canadians White Claw and, in return, they gave us Nütrl in 2021. Nütrl sets itself apart from other hard seltzer brands by specifically calling itself vodka seltzer. It’s made with real vodka rather than being a malt beverage like some other brands. It also boasts that it includes real juice in its ingredients. Each 12oz can has 100 calories and comes in at 4.5% ABV (the same as a light beer).

While we ranked Nütrl Raspberry as one of the best hard seltzers, I’ve found other Nütrl flavors to be good—but not great. Like, I’d grab a Nütrl Lime if I saw one in the cooler at a BBQ. But I wouldn’t stock my own fridge with it. (Raspberry is a different story, of course.)

So, what about these new Nütrl flavors? Will they rise to the top with Raspberry? Or are they just totally okay like Lime? Let’s get into the reviews.

New Nütrl Flavor!

Nütrl Peach

Total Wine

Pros: Do you like gummy peach rings? Then I think you’re going to really like Nütrl’s new Peach flavor. It’s bright and zippy, with a good amount of acidity. And it’s not overwhelmingly flavorful, which is a problem I have with some hard seltzers. Hard seltzer shouldn’t taste like hard soda!

Cons: You’re out of luck if you were hoping for fresh peach flavor. And, even though Nütrl vodka seltzers don’t contain any artificial sweeteners, there’s something sweet in the “natural peach flavor” that leaves an odd flavor on the finish. If you take another sip, that flavor goes away, though. So, I guess you just have to keep on sipping.

New Nütrl Flavor!

Nütrl Blueberry

Total Wine

Pros: Blueberry is a really tough flavor to nail, but Nütrl has done it. This is the MOST blueberry tasting blueberry thing I’ve ever had. Yes, it leans a little into blueberry muffin territory, but it has that sweetness, tang, and earthiness of a real, fresh blueberry. I also like that it’s not too sweet. I’ll be grabbing this can first at the party.

Cons: It has a distinctly barnyardy aroma when you first crack it open. And it’s definitely not for everyone. But I think it’s a really fun addition to Nütrl’s line-up.

About the Author

Hi! I’m the editor-in-chief of Sporked. I will never turn down a fresh-shucked oyster but I’ll also leap at whatever new product Reese’s releases and I love a Tostitos Hint of Lime, even if there is no actual lime in the ingredients. Why you should trust me: I have been writing about food and beverages for well over a decade and am an avid at-home cook and snacker. I began my career writing about fine dining and recipes, moved into cocktails and spirits, and now I talk about groceries. If you can eat it or drink it, I’ve probably written about it. What I buy every week: Trader Joe’s dried okra. Appleton Farms prosciutto from Aldi. Some sort of Trader Joe’s cheese (I’m into the aged gouda at the moment). Frozen waffles (usually the Eggo Cinnamon Toast Minis). Spindrift water (loving the Cosmopolitan right now). Favorite ranking: Smoked salmon. Imagine me as Scrooge McDuck but instead of coins I’m diving into a vault of slippery smoked salmon slices. Pure joy. I also found some real steals in that taste test! Least favorite ranking: Canned oysters. I had such high hopes for this but it quickly became a chore. The kitchen smelled like an uncleaned aquarium.
