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.

Soft orange gold body and strong carbonation but no foam. Soft sweet apple with a hint of twig. Flavour is good dry apple, not sweet at all. Very crisp. Could use a bit more punch but still very well done.

750ml bottle pours out copper color with a soap ring of a head. Nose is sweet apple big bourbon barrel notes. Taste is more of the nice sweet apple notes and a barrel booze kick.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Clean blond colour. Sweet and perfumy aroma, pear and ginger. Sweetish, lean, not much pear, but the ginger is more evident, although delicate.
Nice.

Clear golden. Aroma is marshmallow, piment, melasses, apple (peel). Taste is slight sweet apple at first with a balanced sourness and spice. Later more apple peel and harsh alcoholic. Quite dry with a complex spice finish. Heavy but not oily. Drinkable. Warming. Unique.

Bottle, many thanks jonas! No fizz. Clear deep golden color with white head. Aroma is rum, apple skin, bratapfel-like. Taste is barrel, brown sugar, rum, almost sauternes-like, apple skin, red apples, christmas. Oily mouthfeel with just a touch of fizz. Awesome flavour profile, christmasy!

Vanilla caramel rum aroma over a golden whisky colored pour. Taste is hot buttered rum in apple cider, wow. Still has some remaining sugar - something added at the end, or malt? Highly recommendable.

Apple and cinnamon and nutmeg, appley, so much cinnamon, nice. Not reinventing the wheel but yum, though you have to tolerate a lot of cinnamon.

Pale. Yellowish. On the nose, well, cinnamon. On the palate, lots of apple, definitely a whack of cinnamon. So much cinnamon that it's got bitterness, and there's a bit of heat in the finish. It is stupid and pointless but it's not that bad, at least to my taste.
