Hey! We’re back with another Pinter review. This time, we’re stepping away from beer and trying out their new hard seltzer kits. Recently, our friends at Pinter reached out and asked us to give one of them a shot, so we decided to test their Peach Hard Seltzer kit. They offer two seltzer choices – peach and lemon-lime – and since we’ve worked with lemon-lime in the past, we figured it was time to see how the peach flavor stacks up.
Making A Hard Seltzer On The Pinter
The brewing process for the seltzer is similar to how Pinter’s beer kits work. It starts by adding about a gallon and a half of water to the vessel, then mix in the syrup, which in this case was dextrose. After that, the yeast provided in the kit is added, a clean, neutral strain designed to ferment sugar efficiently.
The fermentation lasted about a week, although I extended it for a couple of days just to be sure. After that, I removed the bottom that collects the trub and added the peach-flavored syrup. Unfortunately, some of the extract leaked out when I put the screw top back in place, so I’m not entirely sure we got the full flavoring in there. After a week of conditioning, the seltzer was ready to pour!
Final Thoughts on Pinter Peach Seltzer
So, how did it turn out? It’s definitely peachy, though we’d describe the flavor as more of an artificial peach, reminiscent of peach ring candies. There’s a touch of sweetness, likely due to some residual sugars that didn’t fully ferment, and a subtle vanilla note that pairs well with the peach flavor. The seltzer itself is clean and easy to drink, though it’s slightly cloudy—something that could have been improved with a cold crash, which I skipped this time around. All in all, it’s a fruity, enjoyable seltzer. If you’re looking for something different to brew in your Pinter, this could be a fun and refreshing option.
Cheers!
