Witch’s Broom – Canadian Invasion Series


Take a ride on Witch’s Broom; a spooky semi-sweet cider infused with a bouquet of fall spices that will send you over the pumpkin patch! With lingering notes of cinnamon, orange, nutmeg, and ginger, she is as tantalizing as pumpkin pie; but, her namesake is Scotch Broom, an invasive plant that threatens the West Coast. Witch’s Broom pairs famously with fall meals. Consider pairing with Thanksgiving dinner, root vegetables, and duck dishes. Think fall soups, braised meat dishes, and roasted nuts.

Take a ride on Witch’s Broom; a spooky semi-sweet cider infused with a bouquet of fall spices that will send you over the pumpkin patch! With lingering notes of cinnamon, orange, nutmeg, and ginger, she is as tantalizing as pumpkin pie; but, her namesake is Scotch Broom, an invasive plant that threatens the West Coast. As part of the Canadian Invasion Series, a portion of proceeds support efforts to combat invasive species in sensitive ecological areas.

The Story:

Witch’s Broom continues the Canadian Invasion Series theme of building awareness around invasive plants that are a threat to farms and natural areas alike. On the West Coast, well known botanical invaders include: ‘Rosa Rugosa’, ‘Scotch Broom’ and ‘Himalayan Blackberry’, a cousin of native ‘Trailing Blackberry’. Witch’s Broom aims to raise funds and awareness around the terrifying takeover of Scotch Broom on the West Coast. As a fall seasonal, Witch’s Broom delivers a delightful dose of fall inspired spices and is the aromatic accomplice at a gathering of friends or family on a crisp fall evening.

How we make this cider:

Witch’s Broom combines the best of British Columbia apples with a bouquet of fall spices. First, we mill and juice the apples, then add champagne yeast to begin fermentation. While fermentation takes place, we soak cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger with Oaken Gin from our neighbours at Victoria Distillers, then blend into the fermented cider base. The result is a spicy and spooky concoction surrounded by the nostalgic aura of autumn.

Tasting Notes:

Appearance: Light tan, gently effervescent
Aromas/Flavours: Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger
Acid/Sweetness: Off-dry, good acid balance
Mouthfeel: Smooth with minimal tannins, long finish

Suggested Food Pairings:

Witch’s Broom pairs famously with fall meals. Consider pairing with Thanksgiving dinner, root vegetables, and duck dishes. Think fall soups, braised meat dishes, and roasted nuts. It’s all bound to be a wild ride!
