My Feedback:

Light straw in color, this cider smells of bright pineapple with warming apple tones. It’s very good. Nice smooth drags. A little bit sharp at the beginning but not over the top—as certainly pineapple ciders can be prone to high acidity. A fairly thick, satiating body and mouthfeel. There’s some lip-smacking tartness at the end. Let’s face it, if you spent a semester studying in Hawaii, you are making good choices! (Academically too as the University of Hawaii has an outstanding history program) The boys of Downeast have made an excellent choice in bringing out this pineapple cider to compete with the others on the market. This is a great, straight-forward sweet pineapple cider, that is missing that special element to elevate it to the top tier, but a great summer cider that if you get the chance to study in Hawaii, or even if you don’t, drink some and pretend like you did.
