The Major Differences Between Truly Lemonade & Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade

It’s a battle of the spiked and sparkling lemonades.

Last year, Truly added hard lemonade to its lineup. Now, Bud Light has introduced Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade to the mix. So, how does Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade compare to Truly Lemonade? Here’s what you need to know.

Both Truly Lemonade and Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade only come in four flavors, three of which are the same: Original, Strawberry, and Black Cherry. Truly Lemonade also comes in Mango while Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade has Peach.

Truly Lemonade and Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade have the same amount of alcohol in each can. This is true of most hard seltzers on the market, which are also 5% ABV.

You’re going to notice a trend here: Both Truly Lemonade and Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade have about one gram of sugar per can. Again, this is comparable to other hard seltzer brands, which have similar sugar content.

Truly’s lemonade is made with real lemon juice, per a press release. In Bud Light’s announcement, they said they combined seltzer with real lemonade to make their spiked seltzer lemonade.

You won’t be able to pick up a 12-pack of Truly Lemonade Mango or Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade in Peach as both brands only offer their lemonade in variety packs. Each 12-pack comes with three cans of each flavor.

Mike’s Hard Lemonade recently joined the spike seltzer game with their new lemonade seltzer. If you prefer beer, Natty Light’s Naturdays combines their beer with lemonade and comes in two flavors: Strawberry Lemonade and the new Pineapple Lemonade.

It’s really a matter of personal preference since Truly Lemonade and Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade are basically identical on paper. Guess that just means you’ll need to conduct a spiked seltzer lemonade tasting of your own.
