Additional Notes:  Lacroix’s Passion Fruit (Fruit de la passion) cider is a juicy, tropical experience in a can, with bright, tart, passion fruit the entire journey. A long-lingering experience its mainly passion fruit, with a bit of red dessert apple noticeable. Some sweetness, but seems mostly fruit-driven. Ends on a medley of tropical flavours and vibes. Must like passionfruit to appreciate this cider.
