Seattle Cider Pineapple Agave 4Pk

Seattle Cider Pineapple Agave 4Pk is a tropical hard cider made from fresh pressed Washington apples blended with pineapple juice and agave nectar, at 6.5% ABV. This expression earned a GLINTCAP Judges Pick award, adding to Seattle Cider Company’s reputation as one of Washington’s most decorated cideries.Quick Facts: ABV: 6.5%  |  Origin: Seattle, Washington  |  Style: Fruit Cider  |  Cidery: Seattle Cider CompanyProduction & HeritageSeattle Cider Company operates out of the SoDo neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, and has built a strong following for its commitment to fresh pressed, locally grown apples rather than concentrate. The Pineapple Agave expression blends a base of Granny Smith, Fuji, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Gala apples with real pineapple juice and agave nectar — the latter serving as the sweetening agent in place of traditional cane sugar. The result registers at just 1.8 Brix, keeping the cider firmly on the dry side of the spectrum despite its tropical character.Tasting NotesAroma: Ripe, juicy pineapple dominates the nose immediately, followed by a faint undercurrent of crisp apple. A light floral quality from the agave nectar rounds out the opening.Taste: The palate opens with soft tartness from the apple blend, moving into a subtle tropical sweetness at mid-palate. Pineapple stays restrained rather than syrupy, while the agave nectar contributes an earthy, almost herbal quality that keeps the flavor profile grounded and complex.Finish: Clean and dry, with minimal lingering sweetness. A gentle apple-skin tartness and a whisper of tropical fruit fade quickly, making it highly sessionable.How to Drink Pineapple AgaveServe cold, straight from the can or poured into a pint glass to open up the pineapple aromatics. This cider also functions well as a cocktail ingredient: use it in a Cider Margarita, where the agave component bridges naturally with tequila and lime; build a Tropical Shandy by combining it half-and-half with a light wheat beer for extra body; or try a Pineapple Cider Mule with ginger beer and fresh lime to amplify the tropical tartness.Best For

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does Pineapple Agave taste like? It delivers soft tartness from a five-apple blend, subtle tropical sweetness from real pineapple juice, and an earthy undercurrent from agave nectar. The overall profile is dry, clean, and refreshing rather than sweet or syrupy.How does Pineapple Agave compare to Apple Outlaw Pineapple Getaway? Both are pineapple-forward fruit ciders, but Seattle Cider’s version uses agave nectar as its sweetening agent, which introduces an earthy complexity that standard sugar-sweetened ciders lack. Apple Outlaw Pineapple Getaway tends to lean sweeter and more fruit-forward by comparison.Is Pineapple Agave good for cider beginners? Yes — its approachable tropical aroma and low Brix (1.8) make it easy to enjoy for newcomers, while the dry finish and layered apple base give more experienced cider drinkers something to appreciate.Where is Pineapple Agave made? It is produced by Seattle Cider Company in the SoDo neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, using fresh pressed apples grown in Washington state.What foods pair well with Pineapple Agave? Fish tacos benefit from the cider’s tropical tartness; grilled shrimp skewers echo the pineapple notes; carnitas or pulled pork match well with the dry apple base; fresh ceviche mirrors the citrus-like acidity; and a simple fruit salad with mango and lime amplifies the tropical character.What sizes does Pineapple Agave come in? It is commonly available in a 4-pack of 16 oz cans, which is Seattle Cider Company’s standard packaging format.Is Pineapple Agave worth the price? It positions as a mid-range craft cider that competes directly with other premium fruit ciders, and its use of fresh pressed apples, real pineapple juice, and agave nectar — rather than concentrate or artificial flavoring — supports its value within the category.Why Pineapple Agave?The defining move here is agave nectar as the sweetening agent. Where most fruit ciders lean on cane sugar or apple juice concentrate to boost sweetness, this expression uses agave to add a subtle earthy dimension that keeps the tropical notes from tipping into candy territory. The GLINTCAP Judges Pick award validates the approach, and the 1.8 Brix reading confirms this is one of the drier pineapple ciders on the market. For drinkers who want tropical flavor without the sugar load, it fills a specific and underserved niche in the fruit cider category.
