The Brewing Projekt Bomb: Boom'N Mix Pack 6Pk

The Brewing Projekt Bomb: Boom'N Mix Pack 6Pk is a six-can variety pack of gluten-free hard seltzers at 6% ABV, produced with real fruit in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. What separates the Bomb line from mainstream seltzers is the use of actual fruit concentrate and puree — never extracts — resulting in a noticeably thicker mouthfeel and more intense flavor than typical offerings in the category.

Production & Heritage

The Brewing Projekt is a craft brewery based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, known primarily for its adventurous beer lineup before branching into hard seltzers with the Bomb series. Unlike the brewery's core beers — which rely on malts and hops — the Bomb seltzers start with a fermented cane sugar base, similar in principle to a rum wash, though it is not distilled. What distinguishes Bomb from most mass-market seltzers is the addition of real fruit in the form of concentrate or puree during production, which accounts for the line's remarkably full body and vivid fruit character. The result is a clear, effervescent product that drinks closer to a fruit cocktail than a standard seltzer water.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Depending on the flavor variant, expect pronounced fruit aromatics — from bright tropical notes of coconut and pineapple to jammy waves of mixed berries. The nose is far more assertive than typical hard seltzers, signaling the real fruit content immediately.

Taste: The entry is juicy and sweet, with a surprisingly dense mouthfeel for a seltzer. Mid-palate, the fruit flavors develop with genuine depth — berry variants lean into rich, jammy sweetness, while tropical selections carry a creamy, almost dessert-like quality. The cane sugar base stays clean and neutral, allowing the fruit to dominate without any harsh fermentation character.

Finish: Medium in length with lingering fruit sweetness and a light effervescent lift that keeps things refreshing. There is minimal dryness or bitterness on the close, making each sip easy to follow with the next.

How to Drink Bomb Seltzers

Straight from the can, well-chilled, is the most popular approach — the carbonation and fruit intensity are calibrated for immediate enjoyment. Pouring over ice in a tall glass with a citrus wedge also works well on warm days.

• Seltzer Spritz: Top with a splash of prosecco for a low-effort sparkling cocktail that plays off the existing fruit flavors.
• Tropical Mule: Combine a pineapple or coconut variant with fresh lime juice and ginger beer for a lighter spin on the classic Moscow Mule.
• Berry Paloma Riff: Mix a berry variant with a measure of blanco tequila and a squeeze of grapefruit for a fruity, effervescent twist on a Paloma.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Bomb seltzer taste like? Bomb seltzers deliver an intensely fruity, almost juice-like drinking experience with a thick mouthfeel that sets them apart from lighter, subtler hard seltzers. Flavors range from tropical profiles like piña colada and creamsicle to jammy berry blends, all with a clean cane-sugar backbone.

How does Bomb compare to White Claw? White Claw is known for balanced carbonation and subtle, restrained fruit hints, while Bomb seltzers use real fruit puree and concentrate to achieve a noticeably bolder, denser flavor and fuller body. At 6% ABV, Bomb also carries slightly more punch than White Claw's standard 5% expressions.

Is Bomb seltzer good for beginners? The pronounced fruit sweetness and smooth, clean finish make Bomb an approachable option for anyone new to hard seltzers, though the intensity may surprise drinkers expecting the lighter flavor profile of mainstream brands.

Where is Bomb seltzer made? Bomb seltzers are produced by The Brewing Projekt, a craft brewery located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The entire Bomb line is brewed and packaged at their Wisconsin facility.

What foods pair well with Bomb seltzers? Grilled shrimp tacos complement the tropical variants with their citrus and char notes. Fresh fruit salads echo the seltzer's natural fruit character. Mild, creamy cheeses like burrata balance the sweetness without competing. Spicy Thai spring rolls benefit from the carbonation and fruit sweetness as a palate cleanser. Light ceviche pairs naturally with the crisp, effervescent profile.

What sizes does Bomb seltzer come in? The Boom'N Mix Pack is a six-pack of cans, and individual Bomb flavors are also available in standard can formats.

Is Bomb seltzer worth the price? Bomb positions as a craft-tier hard seltzer, priced above mass-market brands like White Claw or Truly but justified by its use of real fruit and noticeably more complex flavor. For drinkers who find mainstream seltzers too bland, the step up in quality is significant.

Why Bomb Seltzers?

The single biggest differentiator in the Bomb line is the use of real fruit concentrate and puree rather than artificial extracts — a production choice that most large-scale seltzer brands skip for cost and consistency reasons. This shows up immediately in the glass: the mouthfeel is thicker, the fruit flavors are layered, and the overall experience is closer to a craft cocktail than a flavored sparkling water. Individual Bomb variants like Creamsicle, Piña Colada, and Blackberry & Raspberry each carry strong community ratings of 4.1 out of 5 on Untappd, reflecting consistent approval from a sizable base of reviewers. For anyone who has written off hard seltzers as watered-down and forgettable, the Boom'N Mix Pack is a compelling reason to reconsider the category.
