About
Our ciders are made with the wild apples and pears that grow on Salt Spring Island, and with apples from regional orchards. We never add any water. Our process involves slow-fermenting single varieties and allowing each to mature until it has fully developed. The ciders are then carefully blended for complexity and depth of flavour; our Dry and Semi-Dry ciders are each blends of over 10 different apple varieties!  While the blending process is crucial (and arduous), the special character of our cider is due to the wealth of heritage cider apples that grow on Salt Spring, and to our commitment to making fully natural ciders. In general, you'll find that we tend to make our ciders quite dry, with delicate flavours (including our berry and plum ciders), and that's the way we like them!

Bottle. It’s a hazy pale golden cider with some white bubbles on top. The aroma is a nice blend of apricot and orangey hops, with some apple in the back. The flavor is pretty much the same, with a bit less apricot than in the aroma. It’s dry and medium bodied, softly carbonated and with a faint bitterness. Lasting apricot and apple finish. A really pleasant cider. Interesting mix of ingredients..170128

Bottle - Apple, grass and a light stone fruit sweetness. Cloudy gold with almost no head. Light acidity up front with some apple and fruity notes that is quickly taken over by some tannins and a dry fruity finish. I think I see where they are going, they just didn’t quite make it.

Blond color, even pale. The aroma is a bit closer to a true Ice Cider than the flavor; it has a moderate apple flavor and moderate acidity. I wonder if this has been brewed with sugar added. But it’s quite nice.

Light gold. There is a sweet apple nose, touch of brown sugars. This has a sweet apple start, picks up a nice acidity in the finish. Nice structure, good ice cider.
