Description
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!

Pale yellow. Quite appley on the nose, and a tart, slightly juicy character. Nice respectable cider.

Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Pale yellow color with sparse thin bubbles. Fresh and refreshing aroma; apples, but also strawberries; very nice. Smooth and highly carbonated. As promised, it’s not too dry; the flavor is simpler than the aroma, some apple, moderate acidity, and the end is short.
Very nice.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy blonde with a swell white head. Aroma brings out wild notes and medium sugar. Flavour brings out complex medium sweetness apples and a touch of wild quality. Low complexity and very simple - not bad, but pretty weak. Meh.
