Angela with Jeff Behind Bar

“In the Seventies, my wife Angela appeared in the iconic cantina scene in the original Star Wars film, and I created a new cider in her honor to coincide with the release of ‘The Force Awakens.’ Blood orange and tart apple is an other-worldly flavor combination, so it’s a perfect tie-in to the new film.”
– Jeffrey House, ACE’s founder and an early visionary in the craft cider market

Made with craft apple cider and a puree of fresh blood orange to create a vivid orange color, House recommends SPACE as an alternative to the traditional mimosa.
