Light yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of canned pineapple, sweaty hard cheese, orange and guava, and grilled pineapple with a velvety, crisp, spritzy, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish with notes of canned pineapple, green apple, gym clothes, and orange candies. An excellent pineapple focused Cider, with highly approachable flavors; indispensable at a summer pig roast and imminently chuggable.

Specialty ciders include all ciders that do not fit neatly into other categories. These ciders may be barrel-aged, dry-hopped, spiced, made with single or heirloom apple varietals, fermented with an exotic or wild yeast strain, or any combination of these techniques. Ciders in this category have a diverse set of flavors, aromas and alcohol content. Most specialty ciders have seasonal or limited availability, but are becoming more readily available year-round as the category grows in popularity.
