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.

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.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with alcohol and cinnamon, with a bit of hot pepper. Flavour is loaded with fresh cinnamon, followed by hot peppers, and some alcohol. Lots of hit cinnamon on the finish. Fun cider, but far from a complex cider.
