Lulz SMOOTHIE: Pineapple + Peach 4Pk

Lulz SMOOTHIE: Pineapple + Peach 4Pk is a smoothie-style hard seltzer at 5% ABV from Phase Three Brewing Company, sold as a four-pack of cans. What separates this release from the crowded seltzer field is its opaque, juice-like body — a thick, creamy pour that looks and drinks closer to a fresh fruit smoothie than a conventional sparkling seltzer.

Quick Facts: ABV: 5%  |  Origin: Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA  |  Style: Smoothie-Style Hard Seltzer  |  Brewery: Phase Three Brewing Company

Production & Heritage

Phase Three Brewing Company operates out of Lake Zurich, Illinois, and has built a devoted following for its hazy IPAs and inventive seltzer releases under the Lulz banner. The Lulz Smoothie line is fermented from cane sugar rather than malted barley, keeping the base gluten free and dairy free while allowing fruit additions to dominate the flavor profile. Heavy additions of pineapple and peach puree give this expression its signature golden, opaque appearance and unusually full mouthfeel — a deliberate departure from the thin, carbonated clarity of mainstream hard seltzers.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe tropical fruit leads immediately, with bright pineapple giving way to softer, rounded peach. There is a subtle sweetness on the nose reminiscent of a freshly blended fruit drink.

Taste: The first sip delivers tangy, juicy pineapple that quickly blends into ripe stone fruit at the mid-palate. The texture is surprisingly creamy and full for a 5% ABV seltzer, with the fruit flavors reading natural and pulpy rather than artificial. A gentle acidity keeps the sweetness in check throughout.

Finish: Short and clean, with lingering peach nectar and a faint tropical tang. The low ABV ensures a refreshing, easy close with no heat or bitterness.

How to Drink Lulz Smoothie Pineapple + Peach

Best served well chilled, straight from the can or poured into a tumbler over ice for maximum refreshment. Its fruit-forward character also makes it a versatile mixer:

• Seltzer Mimosa: Top a half-pour of this with dry sparkling wine for a brunch-ready riff that replaces orange juice with tropical fruit.
• Frozen Slushie: Blend a can with ice for a quick frozen cocktail — the thick body holds up better than traditional seltzers in blended drinks.
• Tropical Spritz: Combine with a splash of coconut water and a lime wheel for a low-ABV poolside sipper.

Best For

• Poolside or beach-day drinking where low ABV and easy refreshment matter
• Introducing seltzer-skeptics to the smoothie-style category
• Gluten-free and dairy-free drinkers seeking flavorful alternatives
• Casual weekend gatherings where variety packs anchor a cooler spread

What sizes does Lulz Smoothie Pineapple + Peach come in? It is sold as a four-pack of cans, which is the standard retail format for Phase Three's Lulz Smoothie line.

Is Lulz Smoothie Pineapple + Peach worth the price?

Why Lulz Smoothie Pineapple + Peach?

The smoothie-style hard seltzer category is still young, and Phase Three Brewing is among the craft producers pushing it furthest from the thin, lightly flavored template that dominates grocery-store shelves. This Pineapple + Peach expression stands out for the sheer density of fruit in every pour — it genuinely looks and drinks like a blended tropical smoothie while remaining gluten free, dairy free, and an easy-going 5% ABV. For drinkers who find conventional seltzers too subtle or watery, this is the direct answer: full fruit flavor with a creamy texture that has far more in common with a craft fruited sour than a sparkling water with a hint of flavor.
