Established in 2007
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.

750 ml bottle. Pours a clear gold with light head. Aromas of apple skins and baking apples. Flavors of dried apples with a little citrus and light spice. Light tartness. Quite nice

Beautiful aroma somewhere between blue cheese and a berry liqueur; soft and earthy like it just came out of a cave in France discovered around 1500 A.D. I can't fault it. The body is a deep red wine with ruby hints. Flavour is a warming berry liqueur combined with white wine apple cider. Full and warming on the mouth. Alcohol is invisible. I'm seriously impressed, this is a great after dinner drink.

Deep gold body, clear with no foam. Huge clove spice on the nose, sweet eau de vie notes. Flavour is soft apple with mint and clove, warming and smooth. The alcohol is invisible, this is great, totally not a backyard barbeque cider but something to be savoured in a snifter.

Nice faint white body and no head, earthy cardamom and clove on the nose with apple hints. Flavour is big clove and apple, Christmas cake style. Sweet but pulls back at the right moment and the alcohol is nowhere to be found. Very nice, I'd like a bottle of this for winter.

Sweet barrel aged rum on the nose, good rum brown body and no foam. Flavour is sweet woody rum with cider infused. Balanced and intense, a great combination very well executed.

Has glorious rose wine body, no foam. Smells of soft sweet potpourri, barn funk, satin sofa at your grandmother's. Flavour is earthy sweet fruit, vine notes, plenty of sugar. Warming alcohol effect. Very fine, highly unique.

Dark ruby red body with no head nor visible carbonation. Soft tannins on the nose, mellow berry sweetness. Flabour is mellow blackberry with boozy fruit liqueur hints, soft red wine notes. Crisp on the mouth. Very nice, subtle.

Good yellow body but no foam, soft apples of no distinction on the nose. Flavour is apples and earthiness, chewy sweetness. Crisp on the mouth. Rather standard but drinkable.

Good yellow body with small carbonation, no head. Soft apples on the nose, not too sweet, vague lemon vinegar hints. Flavour is chewy apples, meaty in a good way, coming across almost as smoky. Reasonably dry finish. Quite nice and full.
