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.

375 ml. bottle shared by Kraddel during the (Ice) Cider/Perry tasting @ Barely Legal Tasting Room. Thank you! No idea of vintage. Bottle states a whopping 17 % ABV. Small sample. Yet this felt way less alcoholic than quite a few of the othwer way lower ABV ice ciders we had at the tasting. Dark amber. Warming spcies, huge on the candy department in the nose, liquorish & Sirop de Liège. Taste is sweet-sour candy, lots of candy, warming (but not as much as expected, in your throat you can feel the ABV), pure candy & spices taste, warming Sirop de Liège. Different for sure, amazing all the same.

Refrigerated 75 cl clear bottle with flip-top. Clear pale golden with very small white head. Aroma is light apple, medium carbonation, and no lacing. Taste is dry white vinous and light apple. Alcohol is well covered, but too dry for my taste.
