The Big Rock Brewery Rosé Cider is the latest libation from the brand that aims to offer consumers a pink-hued refreshment that is draws inspiration from the namesake wine. The premium cider is made with apples that have been sourced from the Okanagan region to ensure quality and has been paired with natural rosé wine flavor, champagne yeast, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla. The libation features an ABV of 5.4% and features a crisp profile that is perfect for drinking on its own or as part of a larger celebration.
Speaking on the new drink, Director of Market Susanne Fox said, "In a beautiful clear flint glass bottle, it's as fancy or laid back as you want it to be. Think cocktail parties, brunches, lunches, backyard gatherings, or just enjoying a great tasting drink on your favorite patio on a sunny spring afternoon."
