The Story:
Sea Cider’s Pomona is named for the Roman Goddess of Apples, which seems a fitting tribute for this decadent and richly concentrated cider. Our Pomona is crafted as an iced cider by first concentrating the natural sugars of late harvest certified organic crabapples through freezing the juice. A cool fermentation process using Sauterne yeast creates a silky mouthfeel and soft fruit notes of apricot and peach. Both the acidity and alcohol are high to balance the confectionery flavours. Truly a cider fit for a deity.

Steve & Carol Sage –
We first discovered “Pomona” two summers ago when we visited. Since we both grew up in Pomona, California, we knew we had to bring some home for our friends and family. Love the sweet taste and it was a great gift. Our “Pomona” (Goddess of Fruit) was known for it’s many citrus groves (Navel Oranges).
