Angry Orchard Launches Two New Styles: Cinnful Apple & Green Apple

We brought you news and the first sampling of these new hard ciders coming from Angry Orchard, and now the official press release from Angry Orchard:

CINCINNATI, Sept. 24, 2013 /mbb/ — The cider makers at Angry Orchard, the number one selling hard cider brand in the US[i], are branching out and experimenting with American culinary apples, crafting two brand new hard ciders just in time for the fall season. Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple, a sweet and slightly tart hard cider with a spicy kick of cinnamon, and Angry Orchard Green Apple, a hard cider with a tart and bright character like a fresh green apple, are the result of the cider makers’ first experiments with juice from American-grown apples.  Cinnful Apple is a national seasonal release, while Green Apple is a year-round style currently in limited release with the national launch planned for early 2014.

• Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple (5.0% ABV) imparts a sweet, slightly tart apple flavor, complemented by the aroma of cinnamon spice.  This seasonal cider, available through February of 2014, is refreshing and smooth yet warming— perfect for the colder months ahead.  The sweet and spicy flavor profile of Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple also pairs exceptionally well with fall holiday drinking occasions. The spicy heat of cinnamon contrasts well with the sweet, classic fall foods like butternut squash, ham and pumpkin pie.
• Angry Orchard Green Apple (5.0% ABV) has a bright, fresh apple flavor with notes of sweet honeydew melon and kiwi that balance the lively apple tartness, all leading to a dry and slightly tart finish.  Green Apple’s soft, bright acidity complements heavier flavors of smoked meats and sharp cheeses, as well as sweet desserts.

"The cinnamon spice notes in Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple add hints of cocoa and a slight heat to the cider, which is balanced by a dry and warm finish. It is a perfect marriage of nostalgic flavors for the fall and winter seasons," said Sipes.  "Angry Orchard Green Apple showcases the recognizable tart, puckering flavor characteristic of green apples, meant to be enjoyed year-round, and unlike any other cider."
