These apple varietals boast a fresh apple flavor balanced by unmistakable apple tartness, perfect for our Green Apple hard cider.”Īngry Orchard Crafted with American Apples
“For Green Apple, we explored apples from a few different regions but we were ultimately inspired by the flavors found in culinary apples grown in Washington State. “With its bright, fresh apple aroma and notes of honeydew melon and kiwi, Angry Orchard Green Apple is a refreshing and complex cider balanced by tartness characteristic of green apples,” notes David Sipes, cider maker for Angry Orchard. When creating Green Apple, the cider makers at Angry Orchard looked to achieve the familiar characteristics of a green apple, which is typically more acidic with an uncommon tartness compared to traditional red apples. In creating Green Apple, they found that the sweet, juicy profile of culinary apples from the Pacific Northwest, specifically Washington State, lends to a perfect fresh apple flavor and sharp apple tartness. The cider makers at Angry Orchard have experimented with different apple varieties and fermentation methods for more than 15 years, looking to perfect the craft of cider making. First launched in 2012, Angry Orchard is already the number one selling hard cider in the US, where hard cider is still a widely unknown beverage but growing in popularity with both craft beer and wine drinkers.
The newest addition to the Angry Orchard hard cider line-up, which hits shelves this week, has a tart and bright character like a fresh green apple, and is the first year-round style of Angry Orchard hard cider made with American apples. CINCINNATI, OH - The cider makers at Angry Orchard today announced the national release of Angry Orchard Green Apple hard cider.
