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.

750 ml bottle from Coal Harbor Liquor Store. Nose is tart apples, rum,and musty oak. Clear dark gold with a small, quickly disapating off white head. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly tart apples with a background of oaky rum. My favorite was the Bourbon Barrel Aged 2007, but this is extremely tasty.

750mL bottle, pours a clear dark amber / mahogany with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out lots of sweet cherries, red apples and brown sugar. Flavour is exceedingly sweet, with lots of toffee, brown sugar, red apples and sweet cherries. Very sweet, very cloying. Too sweet for me.

The Aromas are really intense, earthy and a little spicy apples. Flavors are very much like nose, with some bitterness and some other flavors I can't put my finger on almost perfumey but not quite. Great body carbonation and finish that is a touch alcoholic. Very nice cider.

750ml swing top bottle. Pours a crystal clear gold with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet, spicy aroma of ginger, clove, cinnamon, coriander, orange peel, caramel and red apple. Sweet, spicy flavour of ginger, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, honey, red apple, caramel, orange peel, a hint of oak and warming alcohol in a dry finish. Medium body with an oily texture and lively carbonation. Nice complexity. ABV is well hidden, making this dangerously easy to drink.

Jesus, this is a rum nosed, bourbon forward madness of a cider. Absolutely boozy but balanced flavored sweetness.
