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.

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.

Poured from the tap. Deep red. Earthy sweet blackberry and underlying booze. Nice, but could be a bit smoother.

Poured from the tap. Clear orangey gold. Boozy treacle and apple with subtle hint of orange and wood. I find the taste is better than the aroma.
