Crispin cider puts on a new face

The Crispin Cider Company is putting a new face on its "blue line" of natural hard apple ciders.

The new packaging (right) features a larger Crispin Tree logo, as well as richer, bolder
colors and embossed lettering to give the bottle a more premium look and feel.

Crispin is headquartered in Minneapolis. Its Blue Line consists of the Elegant Original, Invigorating Light and Brut, a European-style extra-dry.

Among its other products, it also makes a yellow-labeled Crispin Honey Crisp Artisanal Reserve (left), a small batch super-premium hard cider smoothed with organic honey. The makers suggest all their ciders be consumed over ice.

They also are gluten free. person.
