From Colorado Cider Co:
(Denver, Colorado) – Colorado Cider Company has released two seasonal
ciders to retailers in its Colorado market.
Pearsnickety, a seasonal perry made with Colorado-grown pears, serves up
fresh pear aromas, sweet pear flavors and a lingering, rain-washed finish. 
This extra-pale winter offering is made in the fall from tons of golden Bartlett
pears produced by growers in Colorado’s famed Grand Valley. “These pears
make for delicious fruit and incredible perry,” says Colorado Cider Company
founder Brad Page.
“Like all of our ciders,” Page says, “we ferment Pearsnickety to just-about dryness.
This accents the fruit flavors, reins in the sugars, and conjures up
Pearsnickety’s earthy finish and Western Slope terroir. “
Pearsnickety debuted last fall for Colorado Cider, and this year Page is
quadrupling production of it to help meet expected demand.
Cherry Glider is a new version of Colorado Cider’s popular Glider Cider that’s
made with Colorado apples and enhanced with (but not overtaken by) tart
cherries.
It sports a beautiful rose color, flavors of cherry pie, and a distinctive cherry
pucker. Cherry Glider’s muted apple notes temper the cider’s tangy cherry character
and add classy complexity.
“The key to a great cherry cider,” Page says, “is knowing when to say whoa! on
the cherries. That’s what you find here. It’s grownup enough to thrill discerning cider
lovers, without calling up cough syrup nightmares from your childhood.”
Pearsnickety (suggested retail price of $8.49) and Cherry Glider (SRP of $8.99)
are now on Colorado shelves in 22-ounce bottles.
A recent expansion at Colorado Cider has enabled the cidery to triple its annual production
capacity from 25,000 gallons to 75,000 gallons. The expansion included
four new 2100-gallon tanks and two new 1200-gallon tanks.
