Aspall Crisp Apple Cyder is a premium cider refreshment making its way to retailers in the UK ahead of the busy summertime season to provide both cider and cocktail fans alike with the perfect option to try out.
The cider is crafted with a light, crisp apple flavor and boosts a lower ABV when compared to the brand's other varieties in its range (4.5%). The cider comes in 330ml cans in four and 10-packs, and is available now at Morrisons, Tesco and Waitrose with additional retailers slated to start receiving stock this month.
Marketing Controller for Cider at Molson Coors Beverage Company Stuart Ayre spoke on the Aspall Crisp Apple Cyder saying, "More people are looking towards cider in cans but there’s a gap in the market for a super premium option. Aspall Crisp Apple Cyder is perfectly placed to tap into that opportunity, offering a more sophisticated option for consumers to pick up and enjoy. Early consumer research showed that the product appealed to both existing cider drinkers and consumers that would usually drink RTD cocktails, so we’re confident that it can increase the category’s penetration and appeal to a wider range of consumers."
