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.

750mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lemon zest from the bitters, laid back honey, and crisp apples. Flavour is very dynamic and complex, with lemon zest, medium honey sweetness and light apple crispness. Lots going on here and it's all harmonious. Really good.

Bottle sampled at Sea Cider, pours a clear blonde. Nose brings it vinous notes, honey, and sweet apples in good balance. Flavour is a nice tart and vinous mix of white wine, medium sweet apples, honey and dry crisp skins. Really well-blended, with a lovely tart woody finish. Enjoyable stuff.

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.

750mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a few bubbles head. Aroma is very dry, with crisp green apples. Flavour is low-to-medium sweet, with green apples and champagne. Dry, earthy and not terrible complex. Okay.
