The Imperial Gold Cider is a new offering by Austin Eastciders, the leading "Texas-based Craft Cidery, and Beverage Innovator." Packed with crisp and bold flavors, this new beverage features an ABV of 8.3% and its name is derived from its appearance which is gold and hazy.
The innovative Imperial Gold Cider presents a good combination of flavors as the tannins align "perfectly" with the sweetness of the apples. While the bittersweet apples are sourced from Normandy and Brittany, France, the culinary apples come from the Pacific Northwest. The brand spins this beverage as a "bold tribute to its classic Original Dry cider" with a modern twist.
This new hard cider marks the first launch of Austin Eastciders' line of Imperial Ciders. More are expected to come later in the year.
