Sea Cider Tasting @ By The Bottle

A cider is a fermented drink, like wine, but made from apples not grapes. Cider is a traditional farm product in many parts of the world.  It was once very popular in North America before Prohibition in the early 1900s. The ban on alcohol was short-lived, but most of the old cider orchards didn’t survive.  Sea Cider seeks to revive the artisan cider tradition.  Robust to delicate, still to sparkling, each Sea Cider label promises a balance of flavors and aromas.

The flavor profiles of each cider are quite different. First, you will sample an off-dry classic. A sour profile is next. Then, a tart cider gets the juices going. We finish the evening with a bourbon/rum flavored cider.

Pippins Newton Pippin apples give structure to this crisp and aromatic dry sparkling cider. Blended with Island grown apples such as Winter Bananas and Sunsets, the result is an aromatic medley of pineapple and fresh fruit notes.

Rumrunner (known as Prohibition in Washington)

Notes of brown sugar and spice give complexity to this semi-dry sparkling cider.
