Bacardi Silver Raz is a refreshing alternative to regular beer with a good balance between sweet and tart.
When is beer not really beer?- When it is manufactured as one of the many popular malt beverages alternatives. This style of alcoholic beverage has been growing in popularity for some time and Bacardi is one of several brands that have helped to popularize this type of drink. One of Bacardi’s many flavors is Bacardi Silver Raz, a crisp, fruity beverage that is actually manufactured by brewing giant Anheuser- Busch.

Bacardi Silver Raz is a crystal clear beverage with a nose that is indicative of mixed berries. The body of this beverage is light, non- filling, and very well carbonated. The bubbling action adds to the crispness and refreshment, making Bacardi Silver Raz a good beverage choice on a hot summar day.
As for the taste, this product features the flavor of raspberry, as one would expect, with some other berry flavors lurking in the background- similar to what you taste when you enjoy a cup of mixed fruit yogurt. The flavor is generally sweet, but not in a sickening way. In fact, the folks at Bacardi seem to have gone out of their way to balance the sweetness of Bacardi Silver Raz with a certain degree of tartness, which again adds to the drinkability of this product.
Bacardi Silver Raz is not a wine cooler, like many will incorrectly believe. This product, and others like it, is made with a malt base and added flavors. This is why Bacardi Silver Raz and its sister products are often referred to as flavored beer. There are no hops, but the malt base is the same as that of your favorite brew.
Like other so- called “malternative” beverages, Bacardi Silver Raz is a light- bodied, fruity, fizzy beverage that offers crisp refreshment and a nice, fruit- enhanced aftertaste. Some people need to be careful with beverages such as this because they are very easy to drink and thus very easy to over- consume. Not only that, but take a look at the calorie and carbohydrate statistics above. The calories are about 50 percent greater than the typical American style lager and the carbs are more than double the level of most brew. These reasons alone should be enough to convince the drinking public that they need to take it easy when consuming this beverage.
I still prefer regular beer to Bacardi Silver Raz, but I must admit that this is a tasty drink in its own right. I won’t be trading in my Samuel Adams for Bacardi Silver Raz anytime soon, but I can certainly see how some would become addicted to this flavored beer product. It’s crisp, clean, fruity, and refreshing, offering unoffensive taste and good versatility.

Another awesome postThanks for the info.
I enjoy reading this beer blog. Could tell me how I can subscribe to it?
Just wondering why I haven’t been able to purchase Bacardi Raz in my area for some time now. Every store claims it must be a distribution problem? This is my drink of choice & haven’t been happy with having to try different flavors or brands. Get it fixed will ya? Illinois Valley area
I can’t find in illinois either. I actually heard it has been discontinued. I sure hope not..
I have had the same issue in Spokane, WA. and Post Falls ID. A gas station on the state line carried it for a short period, now I can’t find it anywhere! I love it and so does my man. Sure would like to see it out here again!Can we just order it from the distributor? lol
i live in south texas and this is my favorite choice of drink I contact Budweiser distributors and was told that this drink with me discontinued for lack of sales, very upsetting to me I have tried other flavors of the Budweiser line and Smirnof and taste is horrible I just don’t understand how they do away with beverages that have been selling for years I’m not a beer drinker and I want start now it just seems all the flavors from different beverages that sale are always a tropical ones that they do away with first but yet those are the best-selling ones someone just does these people that run these companies very disappointed and brewery industry.
