Cider Crate Tasting Notes:

Smell: Medium aroma. Sweet, candied orange with some pineapple elements, Sugared and clean.
Initial Taste: Minimal bite. Smooth, sweet clementine, thats candied, balanced with a sweet pineapple. Apple is light, bright and juicy – though definitely third in the flavour.
After Taste: Apple is removed and a lingering film remains that becomes more bitter and slightly beer-ish.  Light straw in the aftertaste.
On ice: Minimal change with slight mouthfeel reduction of sugar.  Slightly less tangy.

Additional Notes:  The Tropical Clementine Pineapple is a sweet, light, candied blend of the fruits that are listed on the can.  Uplifting and crushable with minimal dessert apples.  Unique peach yellow colour, it finished more earthy and straw-like.
