Redd's Apple Ale

Redd's Apple Ale/Redd's Hard Apple is a Molson Coors brand of flavored malt beverages[1]. The original Redd's Apple Ale was 5% alcohol.[2] In 2014, the company introduced Redd's Wicked Apple, which is 8% alcohol, "to provide a refreshing alternative to drinkers during occasions that typically have been exclusive to spirits," according to David Kroll, MillerCoors vice president of insights and innovation.[3] Other flavors the company has announced were Green Apple and Wicked Mango;[4] Cranberry Ale, Blueberry Ale and Ginger Apple Ale;[5] Blueberry Ale;[6] and Raspberry Ale and Peach Ale.[7]

As an ale, Redd's get its alcohol from fermented and malted grain, in contrast to a hard cider, which gets its alcohol from fermented apple juice.[8]

As of 2014, Redd was in third place with a 12.4 percent market share in the "malternative" category.[9]
