Bottle sampled at BC Cider Fest 2024, pours a clear blonde, no head. Aroma brings out light champagne-like effervescence and crisp apple skins. Flavour is crisp, with dry apple skins, light champagne notes, and some gentle funk. Nicely crafted, with a dry, lively finish. Good.

A pour from 375ml bottle (thanks, Josh!) @ 🏡. Appearance: clear copper. Aroma: honey, some berries. Taste: very tannic, ascorbic notes, bold, astringent. Overall: interesting, but way behind the good ice ciders.

Pale, just slightly greenish. Appley, cinnamony aroma. On the palate, apple, cinnamon and nutmeg. Balanced, moderate acidity and a touch of alcohol. Not bad.

Dark reddish-brown. Actually a nice fiery colour. No head, of course. Pours still, of course. Unexpected aroma, fruity, but as much plum as apple, a little bit phenolic, sort of odd. Seems like it has a touch of heat, light apple, feels mellow. Not much acidity or tannin, but I wouldn't say this has rich sweetness either. Just sweetness, without depth but also not empty, and the alcohol rolls through the finish in almost a scrumpyish way. This is fitting into an odd pocket of dessert cider. I am not sure I know what to make of it.

Poured from 375mL bottle @ Oakes' Chinese lookout. Clear dark ruby red with no head. A bit boozy, crab apple, very feint toffee notes. Like most of Sea Cider's ice ciders, the booze is a bit unbalanced. Okay.

July 19, 2022 (6/3/6/3/13=3.1): Poured from the tap. Clear blonde with minimal white ring. Dry green apple, fairly simple, not much complexity. Okay.

Pale pink. No head. Sweet cherry on the nose. The cider base is okay, appley and simple. The cherry seems to be there to cover that up...because this isn't really to Sea Cider's standards.
