California Cider Company
Grade: 86 B
This straw-colored pineapple cider is not exactly enticing, with a sharp artificial pineapple smell. It has a very candied flavor that is smooth and quite sweet. A bit too sweet and a tad sugary. I know the California Cider Company claims this was the first commercial pineapple cider ever produced, and that it has the second most check-ins of any American cider on Untappd, but there are better pineapple ciders out there. (2 Towns, Downeast, Rev. Nat’s, Schilling, Wild Cider) It is plenty good—especially if you like it sweet and want something easy to drink—but see some of my comparative lit reviews of pineapple ciders if you have options.
The original pineapple cider in the World! Often imitated but never surpassed! We marry pineapple and apple juice and ferment to make a thirst quenching cider that's deliciously refreshing any time of year!
