With that we’ve seen Marcel Swain, Savanna’s Marketing Manager rubbing shoulders (and getting a few selfies shot) with Kevin Hart himself so it was fitting for Kevin Hart to send out a very special message to you. A young reminder that he’s coming down to visit soon. We hope you’ve got your tickets!

With its charismatic, ‘can do’ attitude and signature dry take on humour, the new addition to the range will make Savanna fans feel right at home. Now that Savanna has fired up the comedy scene with the announcement that they are bringing international stand-up sensation Kevin Hart to South Africa for the first time ever, there are even more opportunities to win tickets to see him live with these new 440 ml cans. The new 440 ml Savanna Dry cans retail at around R68.83 per 6-pack.

In celebration of this, we’re giving away a Savanna 440ml can hamper (includes savanna ice bucket, sunglasses and Savanna 440ml supply) to a lucky reader. It will give you a head start towards the summer.

This morning was different, the premium cider announced that they’re firing up the scene bringing one of the world’s hottest names in stand-up, actor Kevin Hart, on his first ever tour to South Africa. I’m sure by now you could tell from my Facebook and Twitter updates – in the wee hours of this morning – that we’re uber excited to welcome Mr Hart on his first ever South Afican tour.

The tour forms part of his ‘Kevin Hart What Now? Comedy Tour’ that made its debut in Texas in April this year with sell-out performances throughout the USA, Canada, UK and Australia. The South African leg of the tour is set to kick off in March 2016 with shows in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.

Keeping up with all things tech, I fell in love with Kevin following his stint on EA Sports when the publisher kicked off an ad campaign that starred him and “Neighbors” actor Dave Franco. The three-minute commercial featured cameos from NFL players like 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant and Broncos linebacker Von Miller, in which the players sputter “blah blah blah” for a good 15 seconds. Long story short; The majority of the ad revolves around Hart trying to get in Franco’s head before Madden season kicks off, leading up to Franco taking an early lead in a Madden 15 match while his house is on fire. No lie.

“Savanna’s association with this unconventional, world class entertainer is spot on for the brand which is why we have gone all out to bring Kevin Hart to South Africa on his very first visit to the African continent. His rise to fame as the ultimate maverick exemplifies Savanna’s left-of-centre attitude and shunning of the ordinary,” said Marcel Swain, Savanna SA Marketing Manager when asked for comment.

While ticket prices and exact show dates are yet to be confirmed, we suggest you watch the New Savanna Bottle TV Ad for some funny.

Back to the said. Savanna have expanded their range recently, making their ciders both more accessible and more esoteric by introducing a new, limited addition to their impressive refreshing line-up of ciders; Savanna Angry Lemon. And as the name suggests, the innocent yet cheeky cider we’ve come to know now comes with a extra zesty kick.

FIRST LOOK

On arrival, our handy Savanna pack arrived in safely tucked away in a bright yellow gift box. The wrapping on the 6-pack has changed to a bright yellow to accommodate the emphasis on its zesty flavour. To our surprise, the bottle sports a dark-neon-like-lemony-green colour that sure is tempting! Those familiar with Savanna’s previous and original offerings — there’s their Dry cider, which is more gentle and sweet than it’s eponymous Light offering cider. On the other, there’s the brilliantly-named Savanna Dark, an old-school that’s happily rotten – admittedly, probably an acquired taste for most Savanna lovers — at the office couldn’t help but wonder why the need for this new offering, surely a lemon wedge, slice or cubes can add that extra lemon effect, no?

Savanna’s Marcel Swain explained that this is just a new, daring, limited edition offering which has the taste of their premium and original Savanna Dry with a refreshing splash of Lemon, something that consumers are sure to love. But the proof is in the pudding cider, the result is a complex, light cider that unsurprisingly rings with apple, but it’s also very tart. There’s something vinous about it, something teasingly sour that makes you salivate – something completely at odds with ciders like Hunters Dry, but way lemony. Other than that, it’s quite straightforward, but still a drink to be savoured.

My advice? Buy a 6 pack and split it with a friend, better yet settle for a 24 – seeing that it’s a limited edition. Pour it in a couple of nice glasses with few cubes of ice and a lemon wedge for your instagram post. Get it cold; sip it slow – this angry cider sings.
