Production & Heritage

Untitled Art is a collaborative brewing project based in Waunakee, Wisconsin, with production handled at Octopi Brewing, a large-scale contract facility known for its technical precision. The Florida Seltzer line uses a high-pressure membrane filtration process to create a neutral, clean seltzer base — the same fundamental method employed by White Claw. Where this expression diverges is in the finishing step: real pomegranate concentrate, blood orange concentrate, passionfruit concentrate, and corresponding fruit extracts are added to the filtered base, then run through a tunnel pasteurizer. This process locks in natural fruit sugars and color without requiring artificial sweeteners or flavoring agents, resulting in a noticeably juicier, more deeply colored seltzer than most shelf competitors.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Blood orange leads the nose with bright citrus, followed by a subtle layer of sweet pomegranate and a faint tropical hint of passionfruit. The overall impression is fresh and fruit-driven without any artificial candy quality.

Taste: Pomegranate takes the lead on entry, delivering a slightly tannic, berry-rich opening that gives way to juicy blood orange at mid-palate. A gentle tropical sweetness from the passionfruit component bridges the two dominant fruits, and the mouthfeel registers as medium-bodied — noticeably thicker and more substantial than typical hard seltzers.

Finish: Clean and moderately dry with lingering citrus peel and a light pomegranate tartness. The finish avoids the cloying sweetness common to many flavored seltzers, resolving quickly and leaving a refreshing impression.

How to Drink Florida Seltzer Blood Orange & Pomegranate

Serve ice-cold, straight from the can or poured over ice in a tall glass with a blood orange wheel. The built-in fruit intensity means it stands well on its own but also works as a ready-made cocktail component.

• Seltzer Spritz: Pour over ice with a splash of Aperol and a grapefruit twist — the pomegranate tannins play well against the bitter Italian aperitivo.
• Paloma Riff: Use in place of grapefruit soda alongside blanco tequila and lime; the blood orange adds a deeper citrus dimension.
• Pomegranate Shandy: Blend 50/50 with a light wheat beer for a fruit-rich shandy with genuine color and body.

Best For

• Poolside or beach-day drinking where real fruit flavor beats generic seltzer
• Introducing craft beer enthusiasts to a higher-quality hard seltzer alternative
• Low-ABV social gatherings where sessionability matters
• Stocking a home fridge with a visually striking, conversation-starting seltzer

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Florida Seltzer Blood Orange & Pomegranate taste like? It leads with juicy pomegranate and transitions into bright blood orange, with a hint of passionfruit sweetness and a lightly tannic, dry finish. The overall profile is significantly fruitier and richer than most mainstream hard seltzers.

How does Florida Seltzer compare to White Claw? Both use a membrane-filtered seltzer base, but Untitled Art adds real fruit juice concentrates and extracts rather than relying solely on natural flavors, producing a more vibrant color, heavier body, and noticeably juicier taste than White Claw's lineup.

Is Florida Seltzer Blood Orange & Pomegranate good for sipping on its own? Absolutely — the real fruit juice gives it enough depth and complexity to drink straight from the can without needing any additions, and at 5% ABV it remains highly sessionable.

Where is Florida Seltzer Blood Orange & Pomegranate made? It is brewed by Untitled Art at Octopi Brewing in Waunakee, Wisconsin, despite the Florida-inspired branding, which references the tropical fruit character rather than the state of production.

What foods pair well with Florida Seltzer Blood Orange & Pomegranate? Grilled shrimp skewers (the citrus complements charred seafood), fish tacos with mango salsa (matching tropical to tropical), a fresh arugula and goat cheese salad (pomegranate tartness mirrors the peppery greens), and coconut-crusted chicken tenders (the fruit sweetness balances fried richness).

What sizes does Florida Seltzer Blood Orange & Pomegranate come in? The standard format is a six-pack of 12 oz cans, which is the most widely available configuration.

Is Florida Seltzer Blood Orange & Pomegranate worth the price? It positions as a premium hard seltzer, typically priced above mass-market brands like White Claw or Truly, but the use of real fruit juice concentrates and the markedly richer flavor profile justify the step up for drinkers seeking something beyond a basic flavored seltzer.

Why Florida Seltzer Blood Orange & Pomegranate?

The defining advantage here is process: tunnel pasteurization with real fruit juice and extracts produces a seltzer that genuinely tastes like the fruits on the label, not a lab approximation of them. That difference shows up immediately in the glass — deep pink-red color, visible body, and a flavor intensity that reviewers consistently describe as unexpectedly rich for the category. A 4.1 Untappd rating across thousands of reviews confirms broad appeal, not just hype. For anyone who has written off hard seltzer as flavorless sparkling water with alcohol, this expression makes a compelling counter-argument.
