My Feedback:

This pineapple cider is pretty opaque and cloudy with an interesting tannish orange color when poured. You get strong drags of juicy pineapple as soon as you open the can. But as one should expect from Rev. Nat, this is not a straightforward pineapple cider, it develops in three stages with an array of flavors. The first note is pineapple but it is immediately followed by a cinnamon-like note, then after a moment or two a third flavor slowly intensifies with a complex bouquet of tea and grain notes with hibiscus and other spices that mingle with a reprise of pineapple and alcohol. The mouthfeel is sensational, like a thick tropical juice. This is really slow to develop but it is worth slowing down to enjoy the experience. After drinking some and letting it breath a bit, the bowl develops a distinct gingerbread aroma that enhances everything. Viva la Reverend and the good news he is preaching about the power of pineapple and what it can do for the life of an apple! Nat West at his best.

Product Description:

Costa Rica is venerated round-the-world for four assets:The Sublime Tarrazu Coffee, the entrancing S. Oerstedii squirrel monkey, no standing army, and the heavenly pineapple Millie Dillard 2. I have combined this unusual pineapple variety from that magnificent country with apples grown in my own back yard of Washington, with a touch of Hibiscus Sabdariffa direct from Burkina Faso and a melange of secret spices.
