And right here’s how the ciderhouse describes this new launch. 

SIDEKICK – PACIFIC PINEAPPLE

NON ALCOHOLIC PACIFIC PINEAPPLE

Juicy and tropical, Pacific Pineapple rolls ripe Costa Rica golden pineapples into fresh-pressed Northwest apples. Refreshingly juicy and straightforward consuming, irrespective of your locale! Utilizing completely sourced Northwest apples, every batch is fresh-pressed with a customized mix of elements. After fermentation, the alcohol is gently eliminated low and gradual till it reaches lower than 0.5% AB. The newly dealcoholized cider is completed and blended to create a crisp, clear cider that at all times has your again!

Right here’s what I considered 2 Cities’ Sidekick Pacific Pineapple.

Look: Hazy, buttery yellow, bubbly

This cider has a constant haze that makes me consider lemon curd. The colour is a pale buttery yellow, and the Pacific Pineapple doesn’t lack for bubbles. Apologies for the dearth of an image. I used to be consuming this within the yard with my cat. Here is an image of the cat as a substitute. That is Braeburn.

Aromas: fermentation, apple, pineapple, bread yeast

I wasn’t fairly certain what to anticipate for this cider’s aroma, contemplating that it’s non-alcoholic. It actually smells fermented, with an inviting mix of unpolluted bread yeast, contemporary apple, and pineapple. I’d don’t have any notion that’s something aside from 2 Cities Pacific Pineapple (the with booze model) by aroma.

Sweetness/Dryness: Candy 

This cider is good, but it surely’s not maximally candy. What’s there’s balanced by physique, bubble, and acid. It’s a great degree, and I’m so glad it’s not sweeter.

Flavors and consuming expertise: Tremendous contemporary, vivid, gentle fermentation taste, medium excessive acid, bubbly, full physique

The Sidekick Pacific Pineapple smelled like cider and pineapple, and that comes by way of in its flavors as nicely. The cider is good and frivolously fermented tasting  however largely the expertise is tremendous contemporary and vivid. I recognize that it’s only a bit yeasty! That offers the expertise a touch of heat and a reminder that I’m not consuming soda. I really like that there’s a tiny trace of bitterness within the mid palate.

The cider begins of reminding me of citrus, blooms into pineapple, and ends with an apple end. I recognize that it’s complicated, providing up a great deal of taste, a full physique and robust bubble.

I loved this tremendously, and I don’t actually need to share my 6 pack with anybody, however I suppose I’ll must. I do know everybody will need to attempt it! Solution to go, 2 Cities Ciderhouse.

Yet one more cat image, as a result of I can not assist myself.
