Delta-9 Lemon Poundcake review

Tart, zesty organic lemon with poundcake sweetness, in a 12 oz sparkling can from Botanical Brewing.

By The Functional Sip · Updated November 11, 2026
A 4-pack of Botanical Brewing Co. Delta-9 Lemon Poundcake

Delta-9 Lemon Poundcake is Botanical Brewing's 12 oz sparkling lemon seltzer: tart, zesty organic lemon with the sweetness of a classic lemon pound cake. It's a bright, fizzy can for the cooler — a cookout, a casual evening, a get-together, or anytime you'd usually reach for a flavored seltzer or a beer.

What it tastes like

We're going by Botanical Brewing's own product page and the can's ingredient list, not our own tasting notes. BBCo calls this a "bright and sunny seltzer" that combines "the tart and zesty flavor of organic lemons with the sweetness of your traditional Lemon Pound Cake." The ingredients back that up: carbonated water, agave, monk fruit, and organic lemon juice, plus natural flavoring. It's a sparkling 12 oz can, 48 calories, per the Nutrition Facts label.

Who it's for

This is a 12 oz ready-to-drink seltzer for adults 21+ who want a lemon-poundcake can in the fridge or the cooler. It fits the same slots as a flavored seltzer or a beer: a social night, an evening at home, a cookout, or a simple swap when you'd rather open a can than mix a drink. If lemon dessert flavors are your thing, this is BBCo's lemon can in its current Delta-9 lineup.

Why it's worth buying

You get a flavor BBCo actually put on a can — tart lemon and poundcake sweetness — in a 12 oz sparkling format you can stock by the pack and open cold. It ships direct from Botanical Brewing in 4, 12 or 24-can packs, so you can try a four-pack first or save on the larger boxes. The label lists 10 mg hemp-derived Delta-9 per can; pack prices and the better-value sizes are below.

Fine print: age, shipping & lab results

21+ only. Botanical Brewing's store is age-gated to 21+, and the brand says you must be 21 or older to purchase THC products. A warning on the product page also says the drinks are not for use by pregnant or nursing women, and not to combine them with alcohol or drive or operate heavy machinery after drinking. One can is one serving; the label recommends one serving per day.

Shipping. Because of different state regulations, BBCo says it is unable to ship some products to Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, New York, Nevada, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, Utah, and Washington (re-checked on BBCo's site November 11, 2026). That list is for "some products," not only these cans. State laws vary; check yours before you buy.

FDA wording. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Drug tests. These cans contain hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. Routine drug tests look for THC, so drinking one can cause a failed test.

Lab report. We lead with the label's 10 mg hemp-derived Delta-9 per can. A Certificate of Analysis linked from the product page, dated October 30, 2024, reported 9.54 mg total THC and 9.54 mg Δ9-THC per 12 fl oz serving for that batch. The report is marked "For quality assurance purposes. Not a New York compliance certificate." It describes that October 2024 batch, not a guarantee for every current can.

Federal definition. A federal hemp-definition change is scheduled for December 11, 2026. See what changes on December 11, 2026 for hemp drinks.

Deal. Discount applied in cart; terms per BBCo.
