malted alcohol The beverage is made from a blend of seltzer water, a gluten-free malted alcohol base, and fruit flavor. The alcohol base (termed "beer base" in customs rulings) is composed of 51% sugar, smaller amounts of yeast and nutrients, water, and trace amounts of "malted gluten-free grains".

White Claw's Vodka + Soda is only four and a half percent - that's less than what they offer with their classic lineup. The biggest difference, however, between the two from a nutrition standpoint is the amount of carbs per serving.

The Claw craze comes as young Americans seek healthier, lower-alcohol lifestyles. A 12-oz can of White Claw contains 100 calories and 2 grams of carbs – by comparison a Heineken has 142 calories and 11g of carbs. It is 5% alcohol, lower than the average of 12% for wine and average of 37% for liquor.

A beer can be considered a beer if it has four ingredients: malt, water, hops, and yeast, according to this regulation. While White Claw contains malted grains, which are a component of beer, the White Claw website specifies that the drink does not contain hops, so it is not officially a beer.

Seltzer: Seltzer is artificially carbonated, plain water made by dissolving carbon dioxide. This process raises the pH balance. Club Soda: Like seltzer, club soda is an artificially carbonated water made by dissolving carbon dioxide.
