Fine, but forgettable.

Had this for the first time today, and it was quite nice, although curiously mine didn't look anything like the picture. It was much lighter, almost like a dark orange juice in color.

It's one of our older images and could date back to before digital photography. Different packaged pineapple juices versus freshly extracted pineapple juice will also greatly influence appearance.
