Angry Orchard has revealed its latest Blueberry Rosé Hard Cider for the summer season. Joe Gaynor, Cider Maker for Angry Orchard, said: "An evolution of our Rosé that we first tested at the Orchard before taking it nationally years ago, Blueberry Rosé is another great example of a cider that started as a small innovation here at the Cider House then grew into something all Angry Orchard fans can pick up this summer."
The Blueberry Rosé Hard Cider features a curated mixture of ten bittersweet and culinary apples balanced with actual blueberry juice and apple-forward cider for a subtle blueberry note and a ruby red color appearance. The cider comes with 6 percent alcohol by volume and is ideal for consumers looking for a delicious cider featuring the blueberry rosé taste for the summer. The Blueberry Rosé Hard Cider is available individually or in variety packs.
