KELOWNA, BC – BC Tree Fruits Cider Co. has announced the addition of two new ciders to its Broken Ladder brand line-up.
Joining the previously available Broken Ladder Apples is Broken Ladder Pears (4.5% abv) and Broken Ladder Apples & Hops (6% abv), which are described as follows:
Pears and Apples & Hops remain true to the core like the original apples blend, with no added sugars or additives. All fruit is locally grown in British Columbia’s Okanagan orchards by BC Tree Fruits Cooperative growers. “Pears cider tastes like biting into a ripe, juicy pear just off the tree,” explains Shannon Forgues, Cidery Promotions Manager. Hints of honey and melon balance the pear leaving a lingering citrus note on the finish. The smooth and effervescent taste is well balanced with no added flavours.
With the award-winning success of the original Broken Ladder Apples blend, and the abundance of apples grown every year, BC Tree Fruits Cider Co wanted to create something a bit drier with complex tastes and aromas. Apples & Hops brings the beer and cider worlds together to appeal to true cider fans and offer something new to the beer drinker. The hops adds a dryness to the overall juiciness of the apple, bringing out the citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon on the palate and the nose.
Both new Broken Ladder products are available now at government and private liquor stores throughout BC, and at select bars and restaurants in the province.
