OUR CIDERS

🍎 SPARKLING CIDER | LISTED IN RECOMMENDED TASTING ORDER

HEIRLOOM SERIES

 

PERRY | 6.5% ABV

A rare drink from a secret orchard, Vancouver Island perry pears have produced this exquisitely dry sparkler, combining classic English style with Vancouver Island’s pioneering roots.

 

WILD ENGLISH | 7.5% ABV

Earthy, robust and ultra dry, Wild English is not for the faint of heart! Named for the wild yeast fermentation of English cider apples, Wild English delivers the country aromas of a country crisp autumn day in the orchard.

 

FLAGSHIP | 7.1% ABV

Flagship earned its name as it was the first cider we produced and it is as pure as it gets. Citrus and lemongrass notes.

 

PLATINUM | 6.9% ABV

Our heirloom apples shine in Platinum, which delights the palate with gentle effervescence and notes of fresh apple and cut grass. First released in 2024, this semi-dry cider marks Sea Cider’s 20 year “platinum” anniversary.

 

KINGS & SPIES | 8% ABV

Crafted from king apples, northern spies, and other apples of mysterious lineage, this off-dry cider is crowd-sourced and community-minded to the core. With a Prosecco flavour and creamy texture, you’ll be raising a glass to divine balance.

 

BITTERSWEET | 7.2% ABV

Bittersweet apples are the backbone of traditional English Cider and are some of the rarest apples in Canada. An off-dry cider that expresses the classic phenolic character of this coveted fruit.

 

PIPPINS | 9.5% ABV

Juicy, expressive and playful on the tongue, this aromatic cider is as robust as our pioneers and the Pippin apple trees that flourished on our frontier.

 

CANADIAN INVASION SERIES

 

WOLF IN THE WOODS | 9.9% ABV

Botanically infused with hops and grand fir needles, Wolf in the Woods is a cider with a timberland twist. This unique union creates a dry cider that leads with grapefruit aromas and finishes with hopped herbal notes.

 

RUBY ROSE | 9.9% ABV

Ruby Rose is as aromatic as rhubarb pie, but its namesake is the merciless Rosa Rugosa, an invasive plant that threatens many coastal regions.

 

BIRDS AND THE BEES | 9.9% ABV

Farm-crafted apple cider blended with Vancouver Island honey and lemon bitters for a zesty finish buzzing with goodness.

 

SASSAMANASH | 9.9% ABV

Cranberries, or Sassamanash as the Algonquians call them, are a welcome sign of Autumn. Sassamanash combines the best British Columbia-grown apples with the finest BC cranberries and hibiscus flowers.

 

BRAMBLE BUBBLY | 9.9% ABV

Bramble Bubbly combines the juicy sweetness of cider apples with the tart twist of organic blackberries, which grow wild across Vancouver Island.

 

CHERRY LANE | 9.9% ABV 

With Cherry Lane, we raise a glass to Bitter Cherry, Choke Cherry, and Pin Cherry – all native to BC.

 

WITCH’S BROOM | 9.9% ABV

A semi-sweet cider infused with a bouquet of fall spices that will send you over the pumpkin patch! With lingering notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger, it’s as tantalizing as apple pie, but the namesake comes from Scotch Broom, an invasive plant that threatens the West Coast.

 

BARREL SERIES

 

GINGER PERRY | 12% ABV

Ginger, Juniper berries & other spices have been prized for centuries for their many uses, from herbal remedies to teas & infused spirits. Made with Perry pears, Ginger Perry salutes this history.

 

RUMRUNNER | 12.5% ABV

Also known as Prohibition, the secret to this cider lies in the barrel. With rich notes of molasses and Screech rum, this cider is our homage to prohibition and the illicit history of running rum along the picturesque Cordova channel.

 

WASSAIL | 14.0% ABV

Infused with orange peel and nutmeg bitters, hints of clove & cinnamon, this cider ages in Peninsula whiskey barrels. Waes Hail! To your health!

🍎 TEMPERANCE  | NON-ALCOHOLIC

 

EDEN | Temperance Series 0.0% ABV

Eden reminds us of life’s innocent pleasures, like sipping pure, non-alcoholic apple juice crafted from crisp British Columbian apples. Apple juice with apple blossoms.

 

CHÉRIE | Temperance Series 0.0% ABV

Juicy cherry notes mingle with British Columbian apples and delicate rose petal herbal tea to create a sparkler kissed by the sun. Apple and cherry juice.

 

BONNIE | Temperance Series 0.0% ABV

British Columbian apples, blackberries, lavender and mint find harmony in this non-alcoholic cider.

 

AVA | Temperance Series 0.0% ABV

Ava, which means “voice” in Persian, delights the senses and the soul with a delicate blend of apples, apricots and elderflowers. A blend of apple and apricot juice.

 

ROXIE | Temperance Series 0.0% ABV

Roxie boasts a stunning fuchsia colour and a delicious flavour with notes of raspberry, zesty lemon and fresh apple slices. It is lightly effervescent with pronounced acidity.
