A true Vancouver Island specialty! This is a dark berry fruit filled cider made from a blend of BC heritage apples and wild island blackberries, with just a titch of Saskatoon berries and raspberries to develop a rich profile. It’s dark, it’s juicy, and it balances just the right amount of tart and sweet to show off these berries the way they were meant to be shown! A delightful blend that will tickle your taste buds right to the bottom of the glass.

Purple colour. Nice blackberry aroma and flavour on this, lending a decent amount of sugar to it as well. There's a bit of underlying apple, and the elements seem to be reasonably balanced, if simple.

listed as 8% abv, barcode 626990204589. Has a nice deep red colour but absolutely no foam which makes it look like juice. Smells strongly of blackberry with a sweet alcoholic tinge. Flavour is yeast, boozy blackberry, a hint of dark berry juice. Full mouthfeel but very little apple. Coming on rather strong and more of an apéritif than a cider.

Bottle - Lots of different berries and currant dominating. Deep copper. Berry, bitterness and a nice clean finish. A little over carbonated.
