Made from organic elderberries, elderflowers, and heritage apples, this cider is delicately fragrant, tart, and nuanced in taste, yet still retains its dryness. Another great all-occasion cider, it pairs nicely with food, and is great on its own, and at the beach too!

Smells of soft candle wax, has a bit of foam on top of a cloudy dark pink body. Flavour is floral perfume and some cidery sweetness. Crisp carbonation. Not bad, just okay.

Taster from the bottle on BC Cider Fest 2017. Pours a hazy rose-ish with almost no head. Aroma is elderberry/flower, slightly sweet. Similar taste. Quite tart and dry. Very nice.

Tasting at Matt’s
Ruby color. Deep aroma, forest berries; fruity, a bit sour, some flowers and vanilla. Dry mouthfeel, a bit weak, but with a quite good elderberry flavor, I can’t really get much elderflower.
Good, but with some residual sweetness this would be much better.

Attractive red colour. No head. Nice berryish aroma, quite fruity, with a light flowery character. Fairly light body, and with quite a bit of berryish character. Light acidity. Quality.

Bottle at Salt Spring Wild, pours a cloudy pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of flowery notes along with the berries, with medium sweetness. Flavour is medium-heavy sweet, with a good balance of the berries and flowers, finishing on the berries with moderate sweetness. Not much depth, but it's a pleasant fruity, floral cider.
