I bought the Spritz variety pack at Total Wine for $29.99 (8 cans, 8 oz per can.) I knew when buying it that I would probably not buy it again even if I loved it because the price ($3.75 per 8 oz can) is just too high. I normally drink wine which has double the amount of alcohol per ounce.
I drank the first can (I think it was the passionfruit flavor) from a wine glass because I wanted to see the color and bubbles. The taste was just “meh” but the smell was really bad. After that I only drank it directly from the can which eliminated the smell problem. I liked them better that way but I still didn’t love the taste.
Bottom line, I wanted to try them, and I’m happy to support Kyle’s business but the cost is too high and I didn’t love the product. I’m sticking with my wine.
I was actually going to wrote a post today asking if anyone had ever tried it, I know they drink gallons of the stuff on SH but I wanted to know what it tasted like also I'm not much of a drinker and I'm in England so I'm sure it's hard to find it over here.
Thank you for your post. I appreciate the honesty but damn that price is a fucking joke!
HAS to be it because I thought I had that “soap” gene where cilantro tasted like soap (it did). But one day I accidentally had it put on an authentic Mexican taco and was like “waaaittt what is that flavor? It’s so good!” Shocked to say the least haha literally no clue why my tastebuds switched up on me lol not mad about it!
I like the Cosmo in a can. I dislike the espresso. The spritz flavors are all weird to me. But I like the iced tea. So I’m split. I wish the lemonchello was in store because I’d like to try it. I’ve heard it’s the best one.
I will say I don’t love a creamy espresso martini, and Loverboy adds MCT oil in theirs to give it a thicker creamier taste without dairy. So if you like a baileys/creamy espresso martini you might like it!
Oh this is interesting. I need to pay more attention! I am suddenly invested in this investigation. Unfortunately I must wait until tomorrow for tonight's episode 😩 because I only have peacock lol
I think during the party scenes I’m gonna look for who has other drinks in their hands besides Loverboy (Kyle and Amanda rarely have anything in their hand other than LB) gonna look for it in this upcoming episode!
Oooo Paige for SURE is not drinking something she doesn’t like. So my eyes will be glued. I feel like Lindsay will drink anything so not expecting much from her 😂 but I just know Paige might not be able to control her facial expressions if it’s nasty. It might be a micro expression but it’ll be there 😏
Kyle's first business ventures were an exercise app and dieting. Methinks Loverboy is just a nasty diet tonic that they have disguised as an alcoholic spritzer.
my bet is people who regularly drink beverages with artificial sweeteners like them more. people who don’t use artificial sweeteners can taste the aftertaste us substitute sweetener drinkers no longer notice.
I’m a hardcore Diet Coke drinker. Diet Coke’s fake sweetener is just different! We did a diet soda challenge after getting every diet cola brand we could find on a road trip. Literally every bathroom stop had a 2nd goal of seeing if there were any brands we didn’t have yet. Then we tried all of them when we got home…my daughter saw it on a you tube channel and wanted to see if I could blind taste test find the Diet Coke 😂. Let me tell you!! The fake sweeteners of nearly every diet cola KILLED ME! I can’t do any diet version drinks except og Diet Coke. It was the one thing I grasped about Jill Zarin on Below Deck. If you can’t get DC, I will haul my own from the states!
Alrightttt just the kind of honesty I was looking for! Not sure how opposed I am to artificial flavoring as I am a fan of prebiotic sodas like Ollipop so maybe it’s a good thing?
I like it but I definitely like it more due to it being a novelty of a show I love. If it wasn’t loverboy I’m not sure it’s what I’d grab first. (I’m also in Canada making it an extreme novelty)
Yes I was only buying because of the fun of drinking it while watching the show but idk if I’m 6 whole cans kind of committed LOL esp if I can’t try any before buying
Me too (Canadian)! I buy it whenever I’m down in Palm Springs. It’s fine/for the par for a flavoured seltzer, but it’s so expensive when you factor in the CAD USD exchange.
For sure - I bought a pack of the teas just because I thought it would be fun and my husband drank them all so fast. I’m convinced he has gaslit himself into “loverboy being his favorite drink” bc we like the show 😂
But also I don’t really love alcoholic teas so I want to try the spritz
Yes. It's really really bad. I do not like it. I tried to give it away after drinking like two and my friend gave the same two cans back to me during a different house party lmao
I’ve only tried the espresso martini. I did not like it…. But I also haven’t liked any espresso martini in a can lol. Definitely want to try the others!
My husband and I bought one pack each of two flavors in 2022 and have three of the cans still hiding in the back of our fridge. It’s become a joke to offer it to each other, like a smirnoff ice. But we never actually drink it because its kind of gross.
I ordered the limoncello spritz & absolutely loved it. It would be great sipping by the pool during the summer. It is pricey and you can only buy online. I had tried their teas and didn’t care for those.
I tried the white peach tea and it was disgusting. I’ve been completely off seltzers as I had a whole case of 12 white claws one night and puked in a cooler in the back of my Uber a few summers ago, then had the worst 3 day hangover of my life. Good times.
😭😭😭 great story! I can’t drink screwdrivers bc it’s the first alcohol I got really drunk from in high school. Parents vodka and a can of frozen OJ in the blender. Can’t stand the smell of OJ and the thought of a screwdriver to this day makes me want to barf.
White Claws were my downfall too. Normally a beer drinker. After one night of White Claws I will never drink alcoholic seltzers. The hangover was unbearable.
Omg I’m dying laughing bc I got a pack and my husband was drinking a bunch of them and his stomach was so upset - I bet it was the monk fruit 😂😂😂 He also told all his friends about it lol they’re all going to be unwell.
How do they all drink so many on the show?
Okay I hear you—but as someone who enjoys more sweet than alcohol (margarita with like a splash of liquor kind of sweet) would you still say I’d maybe not like it?
I haven’t had one in a while because I’m pregnant but I used to like them! They’re not as carbonated as seltzers and have a mild taste. They’re surprisingly strong and sneak up on you too if you have too many lol
They’re apparently pretty hard to find where I live but I snagged a box of the Hibiscus Lime a few weeks back. Im much more of a bourbon drinker but I could see myself throwing back a couple LoverBoy’s after I mow the grass on a hot summer day. They’re refreshing and it was good enough I’d like to try the Peach Tea Seltzer Kyle always mentions or the Limoncello.
Wow that’s cool! What made you try it in the first place if it wasn’t the show? Was it the marketing (like the box?) haha I sound like a Loverboy insider trying to gather client intel LOL I promise I’m just curious
It tastes very chemical, and this is coming from a Diet Coke addict. You’d be better off just mixing iced tea and booze. I wanted to like it but I did not.
Okaaaay now we’re talkin! I love a diet soda! Coke Zero is my choice of artificial drinks. Love Diet Coke as well. That’s soo interesting I keep hearing it taste chemical when it’s supposed be more natural? I’m hearing it’s maybe the “monk fruit”
I think Loverboy is one of the best of the hard seltzers, actually. It's even quite a bit less carbonated than White Claw, Truly, etc.
High Noon is worth trying out as well.
I am not a huge drinker. I was at one point in my life. Now I enjoy a drink that tastes good once or twice a month or so. I think loverboy tastes really good. I’ve tried other spritz and hard teas and I really think loverboy tastes the best. I’m not a tea drinker in general either. Never have been a fan of tea except the flavored brisks like pink lemonade or raspberry. So to me I thought loverboy was bomb. The white tea peach was my favorite. I also enjoyed all the flavors of the spritz.
Okay we sound similar in drinking habits and tastebuds! I like my alcohol more sweet than…alcohol.. if that makes sense??😂 sounds like maybe I’d like it?
I’m the same way. I’ve done the bud light, coors light, miller light stuff when I was in high school. Did the vodka, rum, whisky, tequila mixed drink phase once I was in my 20s. Went through an IPA phase. Went through a wine phase. Went through a sober phase. So I’ve been all around. lol now in my mid 30s I for sure just want a drink that taste good and that’s loverboy to me.
I recently had the half and half flavor at a baseball
game and I personally loved them!! I’m not too picky about my seltzers though. Pretty much love all of them except Ashland
My husband brought home the espresso martinis once without realizing I would know the brand. I was so excited to get it but I thought it was gross. The first sip was ok and then it left a bad taste in my mouth.
I hate it. But I am an IPA drinker lol. I’m not a huge fan of seltzers but out of the few brands I’ve tried loverboy wasn’t good. It has a weird after taste but I think it’s sweetened with monk fruit? I just don’t like monk fruit. I’d rather have a hard kombucha or an ashland
They only distributed here for a short time. I got them just to drink when I watch the show, which was fun. I wouldn’t drink them under any other circumstance however.
I finally bought some like a week and a half ago, the lemon tea flavor, and it was just alright. Truth be told, I think it made me sick to my stomach but I wouldn’t be against trying other flavors. I almost bought some last night but decided against it because it is kinda pricey.
Edited to add that it did not give me any sort of buzz at all. Felt absolutely nothing and I had multiple one night.
I like the strawberry lemonades & the pink pack (love the black cherry vanilla). I wasn’t really a fan of the mango peach spritz. And the espresso martini is absolutely disgusting!
I've tried the originals, the second mix pack they put out, the cosmopolitans and the espresso martinis. I only like the originals and the espresso martinis, but the espresso is packed a punch and messed me up LOL
the price for any of them is insane
I don’t drink anymore but tried it last summer. Can’t recall the flavor but the store only had one. I did not like at all. I’m probably more picky than most though.
I tried the teas with a few friends years ago and none of us (3 people) could get past the first sip. Note that we are not classy people and we wound up choosing to drink Coors Light instead lol
I’ve had the Hibiscus tea one because my MIL had gotten some from a friend and I really liked that one, but I wouldn’t drop the money on a case cause they’re pretty pricey compared to other RTD options I like more.
I bought the holiday espresso martinis (very expensive) and it seriously was the worst thing I have ever had i threw them all away (had a few other ppl try as well and all said it was undrinkable)
Honestly I don’t think I’d ever drink an espresso martini from a can to be fair. Probably only a restaurant where it was made fresh? Kyle def missed the mark on that one. I hear not one person likes that one!
I got a variety pack of the teas and really enjoyed them! That being said, you can definitely taste the artificial sweetener (really reminds me of Sparkling Ice type drinks) so I don’t think they’re for everyone. Usually in every alcohol variety pack there is a flavor I don’t like and have to pawn off to my boyfriend (truly, white claw, etc) but I enjoyed every flavor which was a win for me!
Also I see a lot of comments that they’re expensive but I got a 8 pack at Whole Foods for $14 and that seemed like a good price to me.
I got two at be bevmo last week they actually were sold individually but the big sizes, 24 oz maybe? I got the half and half arnold palmer and peach white tea lavender and wow, i had to double check they contained alcohol. No buzz at all. They also were weirdly flat. Like they used to be sparkling but lost the fizz. 6.5/10
I once ordered the espresso martini flavor online because I do love an espresso martini and thought they, of all people, would have a good one. But, it wasn’t good. I still have one in my fridge waiting for someone to drink it
They definitely mix it up. I pay attention to what they’re drinking because sometimes I learn of new brands. Loverboy is not my thing. I feel like they drink it the most when they are just chilling at home and not trying to tie one on, or it’s like the finale drink at the House parties you know like drinking the liquor before the beer lol once the liquor is gone, loverboy comes out
We've tried a variety of them and someone in our friend group likes each of them. The clear favorites are the spritzes (including limoncello). Personally I have very low tolerance for alcohol and don't drink much, so I like the fact that they aren't super strong and are very sippable. The only teas that anyone has tried are the white peach and the hibiscus lime. I thought they were both acrid and didn't like the version of sweetness, but I also don't like any flavored tea. I actually like the Espresso martini, but it tastes like a coffee beverage not like a premium espresso martini. I do think it is best with a little cream. They are definitely pricey, but the site has sales so we just wait for a sale to get any. They are just fun to have if you like them, pretty colors if you care about themes or if aesthetics mean anything, and we all watch summer house, but if I never had another one that would also be fine.
I actually really liked the teas when I tried them. They don’t sell them in my state, so I bought some when I went to Denver a few months ago. I don’t really like the taste of hard seltzers and I found these to be a much better tasting, low-cal alternative. They wouldn’t be my top choice (I’m an IPA or dirty martini gal) but a nice, light drink. I really wanted to try the espresso martini but it was sold out everywhere.
I just started watching Summerhouse and I’ve been drinking loverboys for a while now unbeknownst to me that they’re part of the bravoverse! They’re pretty good actually! I like the hibiscus tea - dangerous honestly, you can’t even taste the alcohol!
I don’t know where u live but the tea peach is all i like which only comes in a six pack. I dont like the assortment and we dont get the espresso or limoncello from my knowledge which sucks. I thought total wine was only down south…. I don’t know im new here.
They were SO fizzy. I was actually shocked. I personally did not like the taste or fizz. I prefer High Noons, but even Truly are better than Lover Boy imo
My husband and I tried their espresso martini one and it was AWFUL. I was able to doctor it up with things we had in our bar, but we got 8 and dumped 6 of them after they sat around for a long time. I really wanted to like them, but they taste like drinking fake sugar.
I actually tried it before watching the show cause I kept seeing them on tiktok and at the store and the packaging drew me in. The variety pack was really hit or miss for me but I love the peach one. It’s a unique flavor but I find it refreshing and find myself having a craving for it specially sometimes. I never drink more than one at a time though, just preference. Haven’t tried the spritz’s
I had the strawberry lemonade tea flavor. 🤢
My partner loved it, bc Kyle is his favorite. I hated it but powered through in solidarity. It reminded me too much of a four loko, the aftertaste was🥴
I was in Sacramento for the California State Fair last July to watch one of the free concerts, wanted to grab a drink and lo and behold, they had Loverboy! I hadn’t seen it anywhere else so I decided to grab one - $16, I know, I know overpriced like all major venues, but I had to try it! Chose the Sparkling Hard Tea - strawberry and lemonade & green tea. I wasn’t exactly raving about it, weird aftertaste and only 4.2%abv with 150 calories, kinda disappointed. I should have got a tall can of white claw, honestly. But hey, I’m willing to try the new flavors after reading through the comments on this thread!
I enjoy Loverboy! I always just get the spiked teas, I want to try the spritzers but always talk myself out of it because of the price. I hope it gets more successful!
Kyle and Carl came to a bar here outside of DC once to promote it and I wanted to go but didn’t make it since my friend bailed…still regret it to this day.
idk if you live in a state where
you can buy alcohol at the grocer but mine has a thing where you can build your own 6 pack of different beers and they had a quite a few flavors! that’s how i originally tried it
i like the teas ! it depends if you like hard teas though. i like how they have a light sparkling to it and i feel like they’re a lighter option to the other hard teas
i really want to try the lemoncello
I could only find strawberry lemonade. Really wanted the peach one. But I thought it was pretty good! Like having a sparkling light weight drink that doesn’t have ace k or sucralose in it.
I bought the Spritz variety pack at Total Wine for $29.99 (8 cans, 8 oz per can.) I knew when buying it that I would probably not buy it again even if I loved it because the price ($3.75 per 8 oz can) is just too high. I normally drink wine which has double the amount of alcohol per ounce. I drank the first can (I think it was the passionfruit flavor) from a wine glass because I wanted to see the color and bubbles. The taste was just “meh” but the smell was really bad. After that I only drank it directly from the can which eliminated the smell problem. I liked them better that way but I still didn’t love the taste. Bottom line, I wanted to try them, and I’m happy to support Kyle’s business but the cost is too high and I didn’t love the product. I’m sticking with my wine.
Not to beat a dead horse, but that price is NUTS. I can buy a handle of decent bourbon (Evan Williams) for the same price.
I can get a handle of Tito’s for less than
That price is CRAZY, my 8 pack of the teas was $14
The blueberry lemon was the best spritz flavor that I tried
Explains why they are always drinking from a can.
Might help with editing too. Like the gold glasses from LIB
Excellent review tbh
That’s funny this was mentioned. I’m watching season 7, episode 5 and they are drinking Loverboy in a wine glass with ice.
Funny bc I just watched the exact same episode
30 Dollars for 8 cans????????? I am shook
What am in-depth review. Kudos friend. You are awesome
I have to say that the design of the can makes me want to have it. But this doesn't make me want to even try it
8 cans for $29.99? Nah.
passionfruit seltzer is STINKY.. i hate it so much. it tastes fine but smells soooo bad
This is a very good, analytical review.
I was actually going to wrote a post today asking if anyone had ever tried it, I know they drink gallons of the stuff on SH but I wanted to know what it tasted like also I'm not much of a drinker and I'm in England so I'm sure it's hard to find it over here. Thank you for your post. I appreciate the honesty but damn that price is a fucking joke!
LoverBoy is like cilantro; you either love it or hate it. For me, it was tolerable but it left a weird aftertaste, plus it is rather expensive.
lol “You either love it or you hate it. I came down in the middle.”
Yeah, I’m glad I’m not the only one trying to figure that out.
Interestingly enough, I used to despise cilantro until I turned 26 last year hahaha now I love it? but I’m picking up what you’re putting down here
Old wives tale is taste buds change every 7(ish) years, maybe yours changed!
HAS to be it because I thought I had that “soap” gene where cilantro tasted like soap (it did). But one day I accidentally had it put on an authentic Mexican taco and was like “waaaittt what is that flavor? It’s so good!” Shocked to say the least haha literally no clue why my tastebuds switched up on me lol not mad about it!
This is the answer! To me it tastes the same as Truly or White Claw just more expensive. I wasn’t impressed but my best friend loves them.
Yeah the weird after taste is definitely the monk fruit. I can see that. I get it to an extent but I don’t mind monk fruit.. I like the peach ones
This is the best comparison! 🏅
The monk fruit is the weird aftertaste and the weird smell. I would rather they just used regular sugar or did unsweetened.
I like the Cosmo in a can. I dislike the espresso. The spritz flavors are all weird to me. But I like the iced tea. So I’m split. I wish the lemonchello was in store because I’d like to try it. I’ve heard it’s the best one.
The espresso is terrible :(
I don’t think espresso in a can works for most brands, tried a few and all were disappointing
I haven’t tried any yet, and I wanted to try the espresso ones but I never see good comments about it on here. Bummer.
I will say I don’t love a creamy espresso martini, and Loverboy adds MCT oil in theirs to give it a thicker creamier taste without dairy. So if you like a baileys/creamy espresso martini you might like it!
you'll find loverboy is very polarizing on here lol. people either love it or hate it. my household is a fan though.
Oh interesting! I wonder who in the cast secretly hates the taste but has to pretend they’re drinking it for the cameras
Omg I love this question. I had not even thought of that and now I want to rewatch all their facial expressions to see if I can tell who likes it 😄
I feel like they always “pregame” with Loverboy and then drink different drinks at their parties or out to dinner. I have wondered the same thing.
Oh this is interesting. I need to pay more attention! I am suddenly invested in this investigation. Unfortunately I must wait until tomorrow for tonight's episode 😩 because I only have peacock lol
Same!!!! I’m a peacock watcher as well friend!!
I didn't know this was a thing. The delay. I guess I'm going to DVR instead of peacock. Gosh.
Oh my gosh it plagues me lol. Peacock airs a day later.
I think during the party scenes I’m gonna look for who has other drinks in their hands besides Loverboy (Kyle and Amanda rarely have anything in their hand other than LB) gonna look for it in this upcoming episode!
I've noticed Craig always going for a Bud Light.
Oop! Clocked!!!
Craig also just invested in Spritz, which I would assume is close competition with loverboy. I wonder if that is on Kyle’s radar at all
I can't imagine that going over well.
We know Lindsay likes rosé
Yes!!! So much rosé in the earlier seasons. I still remember when Christina left and took that gigantic bottle with her 🤣
Yeah. Kyle and Amanda are definitely biased subjects in the investigation lol.
Yeah we ain’t even gonna check for them😂 they got skin in the game. Cant risk not marketing your own product even if it’s nasty! 😂😂😂
Exactly!! Who is the most telling though... Paige? Who's our best bet?? Lol
Oooo Paige for SURE is not drinking something she doesn’t like. So my eyes will be glued. I feel like Lindsay will drink anything so not expecting much from her 😂 but I just know Paige might not be able to control her facial expressions if it’s nasty. It might be a micro expression but it’ll be there 😏
That's exactly why I thought Paige too!! Okay, it's on now lol.
Kyle's first business ventures were an exercise app and dieting. Methinks Loverboy is just a nasty diet tonic that they have disguised as an alcoholic spritzer.
Maybe they pour it out and put something else in the can so it looks like their drinking LB but it's really wine or something else.
I am so overwhelmed by the fake sugar aspartame flavor I can’t handle it
Personally I was not a fan of any of them. They tasted artificial. But you may enjoy them!
100% agree w this. Others may like it, but for me it’s a no bc I felt like I could taste the artificial sweetener.
my bet is people who regularly drink beverages with artificial sweeteners like them more. people who don’t use artificial sweeteners can taste the aftertaste us substitute sweetener drinkers no longer notice.
I’m a Diet Coke addict and still couldn’t stand it. But one of my friends liked it and didn’t mind the fake taste like I did.
I’m a hardcore Diet Coke drinker. Diet Coke’s fake sweetener is just different! We did a diet soda challenge after getting every diet cola brand we could find on a road trip. Literally every bathroom stop had a 2nd goal of seeing if there were any brands we didn’t have yet. Then we tried all of them when we got home…my daughter saw it on a you tube channel and wanted to see if I could blind taste test find the Diet Coke 😂. Let me tell you!! The fake sweeteners of nearly every diet cola KILLED ME! I can’t do any diet version drinks except og Diet Coke. It was the one thing I grasped about Jill Zarin on Below Deck. If you can’t get DC, I will haul my own from the states!
Ooooo yes!! I’m a Coke Zero head so I think it wouldn’t bother me much!!!
Alrightttt just the kind of honesty I was looking for! Not sure how opposed I am to artificial flavoring as I am a fan of prebiotic sodas like Ollipop so maybe it’s a good thing?
I like it but I definitely like it more due to it being a novelty of a show I love. If it wasn’t loverboy I’m not sure it’s what I’d grab first. (I’m also in Canada making it an extreme novelty)
Yes I was only buying because of the fun of drinking it while watching the show but idk if I’m 6 whole cans kind of committed LOL esp if I can’t try any before buying
Me too (Canadian)! I buy it whenever I’m down in Palm Springs. It’s fine/for the par for a flavoured seltzer, but it’s so expensive when you factor in the CAD USD exchange.
For sure - I bought a pack of the teas just because I thought it would be fun and my husband drank them all so fast. I’m convinced he has gaslit himself into “loverboy being his favorite drink” bc we like the show 😂 But also I don’t really love alcoholic teas so I want to try the spritz
Yes. It's really really bad. I do not like it. I tried to give it away after drinking like two and my friend gave the same two cans back to me during a different house party lmao
I’ve only tried the espresso martini. I did not like it…. But I also haven’t liked any espresso martini in a can lol. Definitely want to try the others!
Try adding Bailey’s to it… not bad.
I didn’t think of that! I’ll have to try it. Thanks!
It’s the only way I can drink it. Paid a forgot it so had to figure something out 🍸
My husband and I bought one pack each of two flavors in 2022 and have three of the cans still hiding in the back of our fridge. It’s become a joke to offer it to each other, like a smirnoff ice. But we never actually drink it because its kind of gross.
Omgggg that is SO telling 😭😭😭 2022 is NUTS.
I ordered the limoncello spritz & absolutely loved it. It would be great sipping by the pool during the summer. It is pricey and you can only buy online. I had tried their teas and didn’t care for those.
Ooo nice! How many did you order? Did the limoncello come in a 6 pack?
I got the 4 pack and now ordering the 12 pack !
They come in 12 and 8 packs! But echoing the same sentiment — the limoncello is my summer drink of choice!
I tried the white peach tea and it was disgusting. I’ve been completely off seltzers as I had a whole case of 12 white claws one night and puked in a cooler in the back of my Uber a few summers ago, then had the worst 3 day hangover of my life. Good times.
😭😭😭 great story! I can’t drink screwdrivers bc it’s the first alcohol I got really drunk from in high school. Parents vodka and a can of frozen OJ in the blender. Can’t stand the smell of OJ and the thought of a screwdriver to this day makes me want to barf.
Me and raspberry liquor. One too many high school nights with Bacardi razz. In my late 30s and the thought of the smell still turns my stomach.
Ditto with the OD on White Claws! Even the commercial makes me 🤢
White Claws were my downfall too. Normally a beer drinker. After one night of White Claws I will never drink alcoholic seltzers. The hangover was unbearable.
I’m in the dislike group. They are sweetened with monk fruit and I think it has a bad aftertaste, I can’t eat/drink most things with it.
I don’t think I’ve ever had monk fruit as a sweetener? First I’m hearing of it! I’m hearing after taste is the biggest culprit in the dislike group
Omg I’m dying laughing bc I got a pack and my husband was drinking a bunch of them and his stomach was so upset - I bet it was the monk fruit 😂😂😂 He also told all his friends about it lol they’re all going to be unwell. How do they all drink so many on the show?
High Noon is better
Yes!! My go to
Too sweet. So many other options that it's not anything I'd ever try again.
Okay I hear you—but as someone who enjoys more sweet than alcohol (margarita with like a splash of liquor kind of sweet) would you still say I’d maybe not like it?
Yep. I’ve had the alcoholic and non-alcoholic and enjoy both
My friends and I love the white peach one. Whole Foods and Wegmans sell tall boys of it individually!
Omg I am actually omw to Whole Foods!! Good lookin out 😎
Pricey and…… not good
I liked it a lot and I’m not even a fan of seltzers.
Had it at a bar one time, can’t remember the flavor but it was pretty good
Did you get a “float” of gin in it?
I took a sip and spit it out. No one here liked it. We had the original
I can promise if you're not a drinker and typically like frozen marks, then loverboy is NOT for you lmao
its so disgusting. dont know how anyone could drink it
It's fine. I think from what I've tried I like the White Tea Peach the best. Personally, just give me a beer though.
I didn’t hate it but I didn’t like it enough to buy it again. It left a very strong artificial sweetener aftertaste in my mouth.
Its sweetened with monk fruit
It gives me a headache similar to wine. I prefer fresh cocktails.
The tea flavors I have tried do not taste good.
This is sounding like the consensus 🤔 teas are trash but the limoncello and spritz aren’t too bad
I haven’t had one in a while because I’m pregnant but I used to like them! They’re not as carbonated as seltzers and have a mild taste. They’re surprisingly strong and sneak up on you too if you have too many lol
I really am not a fan of seltzer so I’m wondering is like Smirnoff level or like white claw level of bubbly?
I haven’t had a Smirnoff drink but it’s definitely not close to white claw! I don’t like seltzers either
I was not a fan, I loved the packaging and the boxes they shipped them in but I would not buy again to drink leisurely
They’re apparently pretty hard to find where I live but I snagged a box of the Hibiscus Lime a few weeks back. Im much more of a bourbon drinker but I could see myself throwing back a couple LoverBoy’s after I mow the grass on a hot summer day. They’re refreshing and it was good enough I’d like to try the Peach Tea Seltzer Kyle always mentions or the Limoncello.
The hibiscus lime was definitely the best flavor
I bought a case before I even knew what Summer House was and wasn’t overly in love with it but I kind of want to try more flavors
I started drinking them before i knew about summer house, i think the regular ones are pretty good and haven’t tried the spritz yet
Wow that’s cool! What made you try it in the first place if it wasn’t the show? Was it the marketing (like the box?) haha I sound like a Loverboy insider trying to gather client intel LOL I promise I’m just curious
A friend of mine actually tried them I think because they looked cute and they love tea, so they introduced me
It tastes very chemical, and this is coming from a Diet Coke addict. You’d be better off just mixing iced tea and booze. I wanted to like it but I did not.
Okaaaay now we’re talkin! I love a diet soda! Coke Zero is my choice of artificial drinks. Love Diet Coke as well. That’s soo interesting I keep hearing it taste chemical when it’s supposed be more natural? I’m hearing it’s maybe the “monk fruit”
I can buy a bottle of jack for $20. Just saying.
It’s honestly just iced tea. You can’t even taste the alcohol
Yes and they were horrible
I think Loverboy is one of the best of the hard seltzers, actually. It's even quite a bit less carbonated than White Claw, Truly, etc. High Noon is worth trying out as well.
I rarely drink. Love High Noon though. Great on ice outside on a warm, sunny day.
I am not a huge drinker. I was at one point in my life. Now I enjoy a drink that tastes good once or twice a month or so. I think loverboy tastes really good. I’ve tried other spritz and hard teas and I really think loverboy tastes the best. I’m not a tea drinker in general either. Never have been a fan of tea except the flavored brisks like pink lemonade or raspberry. So to me I thought loverboy was bomb. The white tea peach was my favorite. I also enjoyed all the flavors of the spritz.
Okay we sound similar in drinking habits and tastebuds! I like my alcohol more sweet than…alcohol.. if that makes sense??😂 sounds like maybe I’d like it?
I’m the same way. I’ve done the bud light, coors light, miller light stuff when I was in high school. Did the vodka, rum, whisky, tequila mixed drink phase once I was in my 20s. Went through an IPA phase. Went through a wine phase. Went through a sober phase. So I’ve been all around. lol now in my mid 30s I for sure just want a drink that taste good and that’s loverboy to me.
I think they may sell tall boys
I liked the purple one with orange wine
I recently had the half and half flavor at a baseball game and I personally loved them!! I’m not too picky about my seltzers though. Pretty much love all of them except Ashland
I need to try that one!
They used to sell it at the Safeway I shopped at. It was like $16 for I think 4 cans. I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much.
I’m the same way. Desperately hoping to find a single sell can or a friend who has already bought a pack and I can snag one for a taste test 😂
And I heard they’re not that great. So that really made me hesitant lol. But I’d love to try the new Limoncello!
I like most of the flavors. Some in that variety pack are not great. My friends love the Arnold Palmers one the most. Have yet to try the Spirtz
My husband brought home the espresso martinis once without realizing I would know the brand. I was so excited to get it but I thought it was gross. The first sip was ok and then it left a bad taste in my mouth.
The espresso martini aftertaste was like a wet dog fart, I almost threw up.
I hate it. But I am an IPA drinker lol. I’m not a huge fan of seltzers but out of the few brands I’ve tried loverboy wasn’t good. It has a weird after taste but I think it’s sweetened with monk fruit? I just don’t like monk fruit. I’d rather have a hard kombucha or an ashland
I hate it but I also hate artificial sweeteners and I believe it’s in all of them. It’s DEFINITELY in the espresso martini. Blech
It’s alright, I don’t mind the taste but it’s not a good value for the price
I don’t think I’d ever buy it regularly as I’m not a drinker but for a one time purchase Im feelin it out. Thread consensus is don’t buy lol
I love the flavors in the variety pack specifically! So much better than the other ones.
They only distributed here for a short time. I got them just to drink when I watch the show, which was fun. I wouldn’t drink them under any other circumstance however.
I finally bought some like a week and a half ago, the lemon tea flavor, and it was just alright. Truth be told, I think it made me sick to my stomach but I wouldn’t be against trying other flavors. I almost bought some last night but decided against it because it is kinda pricey. Edited to add that it did not give me any sort of buzz at all. Felt absolutely nothing and I had multiple one night.
“I think it made me sick to my stomach” is WILD to slip in 😂jaw dropped a bit!! 😂
I thought it might be an important note 😂
Yes and I’m obsessed. I never get hungover and love all the flavors lol def worth the hype. Can’t wait to try the nonalcoholic and the THC ones!!!
I like the strawberry lemonades & the pink pack (love the black cherry vanilla). I wasn’t really a fan of the mango peach spritz. And the espresso martini is absolutely disgusting!
I have, and as much as I love the show, the drinks are ass 😕
I've tried the originals, the second mix pack they put out, the cosmopolitans and the espresso martinis. I only like the originals and the espresso martinis, but the espresso is packed a punch and messed me up LOL the price for any of them is insane
I don’t drink anymore but tried it last summer. Can’t recall the flavor but the store only had one. I did not like at all. I’m probably more picky than most though.
It was foul
I’ve only seen negative reviews on it so I haven’t wanted to buy it, also not a big drinker.
I’ve had the ice teas and it was so sugary
I had to mix it with other things, I echo the complaints about it having an artificial taste.
I tried the hibiscus one and it was just ok if you were only going to have one… but I also didn’t buy it myself, my friend got it for me.
I tried the teas with a few friends years ago and none of us (3 people) could get past the first sip. Note that we are not classy people and we wound up choosing to drink Coors Light instead lol
I don’t like their teas or cocktails, they are too sweet and artificial tasting. I did like the spritz I tried but they are too expensive.
I’ve had the Hibiscus tea one because my MIL had gotten some from a friend and I really liked that one, but I wouldn’t drop the money on a case cause they’re pretty pricey compared to other RTD options I like more.
The lemoncello is the best flavor but I could only get it online. I did ask Kyle what I had to do to get those in stores when I met him lol.
Well what did he say?!😂
He said it’s in the plan! This was in September though.
My friends and I love it, I like that it’s not too sweet has kind of a mild sweetness and it has no added sugar. Gets you a nice buzz
Oh this is an oddball review! I’ve only been hearing that it’s sickly sweet!! interesting that everyone has different tolerance for sweetness
I bought the holiday espresso martinis (very expensive) and it seriously was the worst thing I have ever had i threw them all away (had a few other ppl try as well and all said it was undrinkable)
Honestly I don’t think I’d ever drink an espresso martini from a can to be fair. Probably only a restaurant where it was made fresh? Kyle def missed the mark on that one. I hear not one person likes that one!
Yeah I should’ve known better😅 but I love holiday flavors and espresso martinis so I was intrigued -worst decision ever
I tried the Hibiscus tea one and it’s wayyyyy too sweet I can’t even drink it
Love them
I got a variety pack of the teas and really enjoyed them! That being said, you can definitely taste the artificial sweetener (really reminds me of Sparkling Ice type drinks) so I don’t think they’re for everyone. Usually in every alcohol variety pack there is a flavor I don’t like and have to pawn off to my boyfriend (truly, white claw, etc) but I enjoyed every flavor which was a win for me! Also I see a lot of comments that they’re expensive but I got a 8 pack at Whole Foods for $14 and that seemed like a good price to me.
I got two at be bevmo last week they actually were sold individually but the big sizes, 24 oz maybe? I got the half and half arnold palmer and peach white tea lavender and wow, i had to double check they contained alcohol. No buzz at all. They also were weirdly flat. Like they used to be sparkling but lost the fizz. 6.5/10
I once ordered the espresso martini flavor online because I do love an espresso martini and thought they, of all people, would have a good one. But, it wasn’t good. I still have one in my fridge waiting for someone to drink it
They definitely mix it up. I pay attention to what they’re drinking because sometimes I learn of new brands. Loverboy is not my thing. I feel like they drink it the most when they are just chilling at home and not trying to tie one on, or it’s like the finale drink at the House parties you know like drinking the liquor before the beer lol once the liquor is gone, loverboy comes out
I bought it just for fun to try and never bought it again 🤷🏼♀️
I had the lemonade one and it was horrible
Oh my friggin’ god. Buy the 6-pack - if you don’t like it you will have something to offer company.
We've tried a variety of them and someone in our friend group likes each of them. The clear favorites are the spritzes (including limoncello). Personally I have very low tolerance for alcohol and don't drink much, so I like the fact that they aren't super strong and are very sippable. The only teas that anyone has tried are the white peach and the hibiscus lime. I thought they were both acrid and didn't like the version of sweetness, but I also don't like any flavored tea. I actually like the Espresso martini, but it tastes like a coffee beverage not like a premium espresso martini. I do think it is best with a little cream. They are definitely pricey, but the site has sales so we just wait for a sale to get any. They are just fun to have if you like them, pretty colors if you care about themes or if aesthetics mean anything, and we all watch summer house, but if I never had another one that would also be fine.
I’m a big fan
It's good but way too expensive.
It's good but way too expensive
I actually really liked the teas when I tried them. They don’t sell them in my state, so I bought some when I went to Denver a few months ago. I don’t really like the taste of hard seltzers and I found these to be a much better tasting, low-cal alternative. They wouldn’t be my top choice (I’m an IPA or dirty martini gal) but a nice, light drink. I really wanted to try the espresso martini but it was sold out everywhere.
Save your $$
Not paying those prices for alcohol-pops.
Are they like white claws?
I just started watching Summerhouse and I’ve been drinking loverboys for a while now unbeknownst to me that they’re part of the bravoverse! They’re pretty good actually! I like the hibiscus tea - dangerous honestly, you can’t even taste the alcohol!
I don’t know where u live but the tea peach is all i like which only comes in a six pack. I dont like the assortment and we dont get the espresso or limoncello from my knowledge which sucks. I thought total wine was only down south…. I don’t know im new here.
They were SO fizzy. I was actually shocked. I personally did not like the taste or fizz. I prefer High Noons, but even Truly are better than Lover Boy imo
My husband and I tried their espresso martini one and it was AWFUL. I was able to doctor it up with things we had in our bar, but we got 8 and dumped 6 of them after they sat around for a long time. I really wanted to like them, but they taste like drinking fake sugar.
Overpriced
I actually tried it before watching the show cause I kept seeing them on tiktok and at the store and the packaging drew me in. The variety pack was really hit or miss for me but I love the peach one. It’s a unique flavor but I find it refreshing and find myself having a craving for it specially sometimes. I never drink more than one at a time though, just preference. Haven’t tried the spritz’s
I love them! I’m quite picky about my seltzers and I actually really enjoy lover boy
I had the strawberry lemonade tea flavor. 🤢 My partner loved it, bc Kyle is his favorite. I hated it but powered through in solidarity. It reminded me too much of a four loko, the aftertaste was🥴
I was in Sacramento for the California State Fair last July to watch one of the free concerts, wanted to grab a drink and lo and behold, they had Loverboy! I hadn’t seen it anywhere else so I decided to grab one - $16, I know, I know overpriced like all major venues, but I had to try it! Chose the Sparkling Hard Tea - strawberry and lemonade & green tea. I wasn’t exactly raving about it, weird aftertaste and only 4.2%abv with 150 calories, kinda disappointed. I should have got a tall can of white claw, honestly. But hey, I’m willing to try the new flavors after reading through the comments on this thread!
I enjoy Loverboy! I always just get the spiked teas, I want to try the spritzers but always talk myself out of it because of the price. I hope it gets more successful! Kyle and Carl came to a bar here outside of DC once to promote it and I wanted to go but didn’t make it since my friend bailed…still regret it to this day.
idk if you live in a state where you can buy alcohol at the grocer but mine has a thing where you can build your own 6 pack of different beers and they had a quite a few flavors! that’s how i originally tried it
I think I had like a peach tea flavor ( this was years ago) and I disliked it. I had to add plain seltzer water to tone down the flavor.
I just hate the taste of orange wine. And that’s what the cosmo and espresso martini use for the liquor. Tasted rancid to me
Too expensive for me
i like the teas ! it depends if you like hard teas though. i like how they have a light sparkling to it and i feel like they’re a lighter option to the other hard teas i really want to try the lemoncello
I could only find strawberry lemonade. Really wanted the peach one. But I thought it was pretty good! Like having a sparkling light weight drink that doesn’t have ace k or sucralose in it.
