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.
Bottle at the cidery, 13.5% ABV Beautiful amber color. Nice aroma of apple juice, light caramel, alcohol. Lean body; light apple flavor, light residual sweetness, strong alcohol perception. Nice but over the top.
Bottle at the cidery Ruby color. Mild berry and cherry syrup aroma. Lean mouthfeel; the berry flavor is slick and well integrated; the mild tartness and mild astringency are a good complement. Very fine one.
Bottle at the cidery Pale yellow color. Delicate and balanced aroma, fruity and a bit flowery. Semi-dry mouthfeel, well carbonated, the body is not weak, it has a good apple flavor and moderate acidity, a bit of alcohol and light astringency in the final. Similar to French cider. Good.
Bottle at the cidery, 7.2% ABV Deep blond color. Nice aroma of apples with light vinegary note. Dry mouthfeel, weak body; too acidic, with some vinegar and acetone. A bit astringent in the end, lemony. Not very elegant.
Bottle - Blackberry and sweet juice like. Cherry red and clear with no head. Blackberry and apple, flat and lightly sweet with a long almost tart finish.
Bottle - Apple, apricot and some light honey. Clear gold. Light subtle apple and a light fruity sweetness. Dry finish and I wish it tasted as good as it smelled.
