Following the success of previous HIGH Imperial releases, including HIGH Imperial Apple, HIGH Berry, and HIGH Peach, ACE is building a broad variety of options to please everyone with the launch of this new flavor. ACE HIGH Imperial Pineapple is an 8% ABV version of top-selling ACE Pineapple, conveniently packaged in 12-ounce aluminum cans. The beverage delivers a refreshing, tropical taste with a slightly higher alcohol content. Tart apple juice and real pineapple combine to deliver a distinct flavor and aroma that provides a crisp, invigorating, and ever-so-slightly sweet finish thanks to natural fruit sugars. The result is a delicious and satisfying drink apt for any occasion.
"ACE Pineapple Cider is one of the best-selling hard ciders in the US. Launched just in time for summer, ACE HIGH Imperial brings a bigger, exciting version, loaded with flavor, and dialed up on the ABV," shared Tracey Mason, SVP and General Manager of ACE Cider. "Our HIGH Imperial line is a big hit with our consumers and ACE HIGH Imperial Pineapple gives our leading, preferred flavor an extra kick that we are certain will gain new fans."
Added ACE Cider SVP Sales Jason Strobbe, "With this launch, ACE will be the only craft cidery with four Imperial ciders and a footprint in all 50 states. Our flavors are unique to the category and proving to provide strong consumer appeal in a fast-growing category. Our market reach, variety, and accessibility positions ACE as a leading contender in this space."
Founded in 1993 by the House family, and acquired by VWE in 2021, ACE continues to be produced at the original cidery in West Sonoma County, California and remains the only craft cidery with national distribution. Every ACE Cider is made from 100% fermented fruit juices, and is both gluten-free and vegan, with no sugar added.
ACE HIGH Imperial Pineapple will be available in 12-ounce cans (MSRP: $12/six-pack) and on draft at select locations across the country. For more information about ACE Cider and its products, visit the company's website at www.acecider.com
