At 8.4% ABV, this cider raises the bar with a clean, crisp profile crafted from a unique blend of 100% fresh-pressed Pacific Northwest apples and European heirloom bittersharp varietals, providing an unapologetically dry finish.

Excelsior Imperial Hyper-Dry is made with zero added sugar and finishes bone-dry, offering drinkers a new cider experience. Its deeper golden hue and layered complexity come from natural tannins in the apple flesh, expertly brought to life through a “low and slow” fermentation process at cooler temperatures using hand-selected yeast strains. The result is a bold, fruit-forward profile that preserves bright apple aromas and rich flavor depth. By adding an imperial dry option, Schilling ensures every drinker has a seat at the table with a cider that appeals to craft beer enthusiasts, wine drinkers, and cider lovers alike.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours orange gold with a moderate and very transient bubbly white head. Rich aroma of apples and apple skin. Perhaps the nicest cider aroma I’ve had in a long time. It’s dry, but the apple flesh aspect seems to go the other way. Nice skin and flesh combination really excellent cider.
