Get Ready to Fall Hard: Awestruck Ciders Debuts “Candy Apple with a Dash of Cinnamon” – the Sweet & Spiced Flavor of the Season

Because who said candy apples were just for kids?

SIDNEY, NY – October 8, 2024 – Awestruck Ciders is kicking off the fall season with a fresh new flavor that’s set to become your go-to autumn indulgence: Candy Apple with a Dash of Cinnamon. It’s everything you love about fall—crisp apples, cozy spices, and that nostalgic sweetness—packed into one delicious can.

Bringing together the crunchy, juicy bite of a New York State candy apple and the perfect hit of warm, sweet cinnamon, this cider is a seasonal sensation you won’t want to miss. With every sip, you’ll get a rush of candied sweetness, followed by a smooth cinnamon finish that will have you reaching for another (and another) on those cool, autumn evenings.

“Imagine the crisp crack of biting into a bright red candy apple at a fall festival—that’s exactly what we wanted to bottle up with this new release,” said Patti Wilcox, Co-Founder of Awestruck Ciders. “But we’re Awestruck, so of course we had to elevate it with a dash of cinnamon to bring out the best of the apple’s flavor and add that little extra something.”

Flavor Notes You Can’t Resist

  • Sweet meets Spiced: The first taste delivers a rush of crunchy, candied apple sweetness, followed by a dash  of cinnamon that rounds it out with just the right amount of warmth.
  • Handcrafted Perfection: Every can is made with 100% fresh-pressed New York State apples, never from concentrate, because we believe quality matters.
  • Color and Pour: A stunning ruby red that’s perfect for toasting with friends, family, or your favorite fall flannel.

Where to Find It

Starting September 30th, Candy Apple with a Dash of Cinnamon will be hitting the shelves of select retailers across New York and Pennsylvania. Swing by one of our taprooms in Sidney or Walton, or check out our online store to snag yours before it’s gone—this is a limited release, folks!
