"At this time, the only Angry Orchard style that you inquired about [among Headless Pumpkin, Mystery Caller, Caramel Apple Curse, Blood Orange, and Crisp Imperial] that contains honey is Crisp Imperial. We are also removing honey from Angry Orchard Crisp Imperial in the next few months, so you can look out for that change on the ingredient statement."
[Richard notes: "Emily later circled back and confirmed that the following were vegan. Ingredients also looked good on the can for these.
"Headless Pumpkin
Mystery Caller
Caramel Apple Curse
Blood Orange"]

"All of our ciders except for those in our Cider House Collection contain honey. This collection contains three ciders (Strawman, Iceman, and Muse) sold in 750 mL corked bottles. These are very popular styles made in small batches, and can be hard to find at times. However, when you do find it, it is definitely worth the wait! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. If you are having trouble finding them on their own, let your local liquor store know that you are interested in exploring additional Angry Orchard cider styles and hopefully they will be able to order more from their local distributor."
