The Thatchers Cider Cloudy Lemon Cider is one of the latest libations from the brand that's focused on delivering an exceptionally refreshing flavor profile that's perfect for summertime consumption. The cider features a 4% lightly sparkling profile, and is made with three kinds of dessert apples including Gala, Braeburn and Red Spur along with Jonagold for a touch of cloudiness. The cider comes packaged in 440ml serving sizes and comes in packs of four that are perfect for bringing to social gatherings.
Fourth Generation Cidermaker Martin Thatcher spoke on the new Thatchers Cider Cloudy Lemon Cider saying, "We’re looking to be bold and different with Cloudy Lemon and bring some zest into the cider category in time for summer. There’s a clear gap in the market for an alternative flavor in cider, with consumers looking for premium fruit cider in 440ml cans. We’re always looking ahead and we believe Cloudy Lemon will reinvigorate the fruit cider category this summer, attracting not only cider lovers, but also those who enjoy the refreshing zesty appeal of a gin and tonic."
