At 98 calories and 4.2% ABV, Tart Apple packs an exhilarating apple flavor in every 12 oz can. Uncompromising on quality, unparalleled in taste, Tart Apple was crafted from our favorite ingredient, fresh pressed Washington apples!

Bright Cherry – A buoyant medley that merges the tang of apple with the rich allure of cherry. The apple and cherry combine to deliver a puckering acidity. Together, they craft a harmonious fusion, presenting a bold and balanced bouquet punctuated by a hint of cherry sweetness.

Fresh Peach – An effervescent delight that blends the zest of apple with the sun-kissed succulence of fresh peach. the peach infuses a luscious, ripe sweetness that complements the invigorating apple body. Together, they create a bold, yet balanced delight for the palate.

We’ve always believed in using whole fruit and whole ingredients, and Washington grows some of the best fruit. We don’t compromise when it comes to using natural ingredients for real taste, and we never add anything artificial, ever.”
