The base is fresh-pressed Northwest apple juice — never from concentrate — blended with ripe Costa Rica golden pineapples. The cider is left unfiltered and unpasteurized, preserving natural flavor complexity and a slightly hazy appearance that distinguishes it from more commercially processed pineapple ciders.Tasting NotesAroma: Bright, unmistakable fresh pineapple leads immediately, followed by subtle orchard apple and a faint green, grassy undertone. The nose reads like freshly cut tropical fruit rather than anything candied or artificial.Taste: The entry is semi-sweet with a juicy pineapple punch that tastes authentic and ripe. Mid-palate, the apple base emerges to provide structure and a mild earthiness. A light tartness at the back keeps the sweetness balanced without veering into cloying territory — reviewers consistently note that the flavors taste distinctly real.Finish: Medium-bodied with a hefty, smooth mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. The finish trails off with lingering tropical fruit and a clean, slightly tart close that invites another sip.How to Drink Pacific PineappleServe chilled straight from the can or poured into a pint glass to appreciate the hazy golden color and full aroma.
