About
Blue Bee Cider is Virginia’s first urban cidery, located in the historic Scott’s Addition district of Richmond, VA. Our ciders are made with rare and heirloom Virginia apples prized for their tannin, acidity, and flavor. We respect – but also challenge – the traditions of the craft, uniting past and present to create an experience where all are welcome.

Rocky Ridge Reserve from Blue Bee Cider

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Sampled at Wine Warehouse for Virginia Cider Week. Pours pale golden, lively carbonation. Flavor is dry tart apple, dust, light earth, a little funk. Overall my second favorite of the three I sampled, but not 100% in.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Sampled at Wine Warehouse for Virginia Cider Week. Pours pale golden. Aroma is fresh tart apple, I want to say some sort of green, but I'm honestly not an apple expert. Flavor is crisp tart apple, juicy but never sweet. Good.
