The mighty blackberry is a tenacious invader of Vancouver Island orchards, but a touch of its sun-soaked sweetness added to apple cider makes for a sinfully delicious blushing semi dry sparkling cider. Raise a glass of Sea Cider’s Bramble Bubbly, and celebrate Vancouver Island fruit at its best! Bramble Bubbly pairs well with salmon, summer salads, berries, outdoor barbecue, mild or sharp cheeses, cured meats, and poultry dishes. Also pairs well with desserts — warm apple and berry crumble, bite-sized bonbons, or vanilla ice cream. Pairings are only limited by your imagination!

750ml swing top bottle. Pours a clear deep red-purple with a thin, fizzy, short lived, pink head that fully dissipates. Sweet fruity aroma of blackberry, port wine, apple skin and floral. Sweet fruity flavour of apple, tart blackberry, hibiscus and warming port wine in a dry, light acidic finish. Medium body with a syrupy texture and lively carbonation. Tasty, very nice.

Dark ruby red body with no head nor visible carbonation. Soft tannins on the nose, mellow berry sweetness. Flabour is mellow blackberry with boozy fruit liqueur hints, soft red wine notes. Crisp on the mouth. Very nice, subtle.

Sample at Brouwer’s Cafe during "6 Degrees of Inebriation" on 04/09/2016. This Cider pours a clear ruby color with a thin pinkish-white head that dissipates quickly to a film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of apple, berries and spice. Medium body with flavors of semi-tart apples and raspberries, with some spice in the background. The finish is fruity with a berry aftertaste. Above average overall.

Red wine color. Sweet fruity aroma. The berry and apple join together to make a nice fruit medley. Sweet with very low tart notes. Good.

Deep red colour. A touch of froth, early. The aroma has a lot of apple, and a touch of the bramble to lend accent to the fruitiness. The bramble comes out more in the palate. The background apple is too much like commercial apple juice, and the brambles then bring a decent fruitiness over top, but the overall presentation is something a bit more commercial - a fair bit of sweetness in the finish.

750mL bottle, pours a clear dark burgundy with a tiny head. Aroma brings out dark berries, medium sweetness and light acidity. Flavour is along the same lines, with a very pronounced fruitiness, light tartness and light-to-medium sweetness. Super fruity from the dark fruits. Very nice stuff.

750 ml bottle. Pours a red ruby color with pink head that settles quickly. Aromas of green apples and red fruit jam. Flavors of tart apples with a dry cranberry/raspberry fruitiness. Very nice.
