Angry Orchard joins the rosé trend
Angry Orchard, best known for its apple-flavored ciders is joining the widely popular Rosé craze by launching a new drink — Angry Orchard Rosé hard cider. This new beverage from the Walden, N.Y.-based company is made with red flesh apples from France and combines the qualities of cider with a rosy color and floral aroma.
The inspiration for this new drink came from the light and fruit-forward elements of Rosé, which is derived from harvested and fermented fruit, the company said. The brand began experimenting with small batches until finding a unique red fresh apple in Brittany, France that contributes to the products apple flavor and rose-colored hue.
"I love Rosé wine, but I'm excited for drinkers to move on over to cider and try something new this spring with our Angry Orchard Rosé," Ryan Burk, head cider maker of Angry Orchard, said. "The rare red flesh apples used in our Rosé not only impart complex flavors but contribute to the cider's beautiful rosy hue. It's crisp, refreshing and unlike any other style we have crafted."
Angry Orchard Rosé hard cider contains 5.5% ABV and is available nationwide in packs of six for the suggested retail price of $7.99 to $9.99, and in a variety pack of 12 that includes other beverages from the brand, for $14.99 to $16.99. The line also will be official hard cider of this year's Kentucky Derby.
