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.

A pale blonde cider with aroma of ginger, apple jam, orange pulp, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity apple juice with light cardamom, ginger, cloves, alcohol warmth, very nice and smooth. On tap at cidery.

Deep pink aroma with no foam. Wood and cranberry aroma, slighr sweet apple. Taste is tart cranberry, vague apple funk, lingering sweetness and no sign of the booze. Very nice but rather one dimensional.

Nice smooth gold body and good foam. Huge bourbon character on the nose, appley whisky, wet boozy pine. Flavour is more bourbon, sweet apple, smooth pine. Great carbonation, melded well, enjoyable.

Poured from the tap. Clear light orangey gold with no head. Crisp, dry apple skin. It’s pretty decent, but not at all a standout for Sea Cider stuff.

Re-rate: Poured from 375 mL bottle. Deep, dark ruby red with no head. Rosemary, red currant, touch of raspberry. Quite different from what i recall from my on tap brewery tasting, but still quite enjoy it. Oct 02, 2020 (8/3/8/3/15=3.7): Poured from the tap. Deep red. Very nice boiled down fresh raspberry syrup with nice apple notes. Mild booze.
