We like Polar Seltzer. We really do – and we have proof. Last year, we did a taste test of its flavors, and of the 14 we tried, 10 of them scored 8/10 or above. So trust us when we say that we have an affinity with this brand and its refreshing, balanced drinks.

Trust us when we also say that we’re excited to see that Polar’s just released its summer flavors, which have dropped a little earlier than we thought, at none other than BJ’s. We’ve got five flavors to choose from, and two of them are ones that fans of the seltzer brand are very happy to see make a comeback. Here’s what’s on offer.
Polar’s Summer Flavors:
Poolside Grape Pops
The first of the returning flavors, this one packs a grape popsicle flavor into a sparkling water – and you best believe that Polar customers are happy that it’s back. “I love grape and this is such a good one,” said one person on Reddit discussing the release of these summer smashes.
Pineapple Tangerine Dream
Polar gives us an interesting twist on a typical orange-pineapple flavor here by opting for tangerine instead of a classic orange. In drinks, tangerine flavor tends to be a little sweeter and lighter, and has slightly less of that clang of citrus, which all fits in with Polar’s taste remit. It also tends to work very well in sparkling water, as our taste test of LaCroix Tangerine (and other flavors) can attest to. We’re quietly excited about this one.
Prickly Pear Guava Punch
Now, this has piqued our interest. Polar’s going hard on tropical flavors with its Prickly Pear Guava Punch, and with the almost watermelon-like taste of prickly pear and the papaya-adjacent guava, we can expect this one to be very, very good on a hot day.
Blueberry Lavender
The comeback kid. Blueberry Lavender was a hit when it first debuted, and Polar has duly brought it back for another spin, ensuring that its core fanbase is happy. “Omg thank the lord my bae is back Blueberry Lavender,” said one person over on Reddit. Polar = bae. This one is light, floral, gentle, and moreish. Lavender’s also very in right now (there are a lot of lavender syrups out there, in case you were wondering), so Polar’s drink is bang on trend.
Kiwi Lemonade
Perhaps the flavor that’s causing the most buzz, Polar’s Kiwi Lemonade may go on to do big things this summer. This one goes heavy on the citrus, but kiwi in drinks typically tends to give them a mixture of sharpness and florality that works very well, especially in sparkling waters like this one.
When Can I Get These New Flavors?
Right now! Although you may need to just keep an eye on when they’re back in stock. They’re on BJ’s website, and customers have reported finding them already, but online, they’re currently listed as sold out. Keep checking back for new stock drops; we’re sure it won’t be long until they’re back in action.
