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. 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.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp apple skins and a tinge of farmhouse character. Flavour is along the same lines, with crisp apple skins, light acidity, a hint of funk, and a dry finish. Crisp and dry finish, with nice depth. Unusual for Sea Cider, but it's well-made.

750ml swing-top bottle. Pours a clear gold with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of apple skin, leather and funky yeast. Semi-sweet flavour of green apple skin, lemon rind, vinegar, white wine, floral and earthy yeast in a crisp, bone dry, acidic finish. Medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Interesting and well done.
