Description
Sea Cider is a farm-based cidery located on the Saanich Peninsula just minutes from Victoria, on Vancouver Island. Our ten-acre farm is home to over 1,300 apple trees, made up of over 50 varieties of heritage apples.

Sea Cider opened its farm gate for business in 2007 when owner Kristen Jordan purchased the property with a vision of creating an organic farm and orchard and producing traditional fermented artisan ciders. Since then, we’ve grown to an annual cider production of over 7,000 cases and growing. We continue to pride ourselves on crafting traditionally fermented ciders from organically grown apples, and our award-winning cider is now available throughout B.C., Alberta, Manitoba, Washington State, Illinois, and Oregon.

On tap at Sea Cider. Pours clear deep gold. Caramelized apples and a good hit of rum on the nose. Flavour has dry apple skins, gentle caramelization, and a surprisingly subtle amber rum character; the spiced character from the rum complements the apple very well. Rum is an aggressive barrel, but they pulled this off very well.

On tap at Sea Cider. Pours a clear, very pale blonde. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice with a touch of candied apples on the nose. Flavour has a nice blend of winter spices, allspice coming out on top; candied apples, slightly dry. ABV is only betrayed by the hit of sugars as it goes down. Very nicely done.

On tap at Sea Cider. Pours clear pale blonde. Loads of candied ginger and a touch of pear skins on the nose. Flavour has a very nice blend of candied ginger and dry pear skins; I suspect other spices as well, but very much in a supporting role. This was very well-executed.

On tap at Sea Cider. Pours a clear, very pale blonde. Nose is quite herbal with notes of pine, musty apples, and very light hints of tropical fruit. Flavour has semi-dry apples, skins, plenty of resinous fir needles, and a floral hop character. Interesting and well-executed.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark orangey pink. Aromas of tart red berries and apples. Flavors of sugary red berries and apples. Nice carbonation. Surprisingly good. Carbonation cuts the sweetness with apples prominent.

Pale yellow, tart, appley, sweet, seems on the nose like it’ll have complexity but then it’s just sweet.
