Truck 59 Baptism by Firetruck Semi-Dry Apple Cider 473 mL
Crisp apple fruit gives this modern semi-dry cider a bright, clean centre. The palate is friendly and easygoing, balancing gentle orchard sweetness with enough acidity and dryness to keep the finish refreshing. Its straightforward structure makes it equally comfortable on its own or alongside food. Serve well chilled with roast pork, grilled sausages, fish and chips, sharp cheddar or a simple apple-and-fennel salad.
Merridale Cowichan Dry Cider Single Can
Fresh-cut apple leads a clean, orchard-driven aroma with a gentle floral lift. The palate is dry and brisk, balancing bright sharpness with subtle bitters and a measured touch of fruit. Fine tannin adds structure without heaviness, while lively acidity keeps the texture refreshing. The finish is crisp, lightly savoury and persistent. Serve well chilled with roast pork, aged cheddar, or grilled sausages.
Nomad Cider Strawberry 473 mL Can
Fresh strawberry leads a clean, vivid aroma, joined by subtle citrus and ripe melon. The palate is fruit-driven without becoming sweet, as the berry character rests over fully fermented cider and a firm, refreshing line of acidity. A restrained tannic edge adds shape through the middle. The finish turns dry and crisp, with a gentle grapefruit note lingering. Serve well chilled with chèvre or grilled chicken.
NOMAD Cider Belgian Rouge 473 mL Can
A generous red-berry profile brings cherries, cranberries and raspberries together over a structured cider base. Fermentation with Belgian beer yeast adds savoury complexity, while gentle sourness, medium tannin and fresh acidity keep the fruit composed. The palate is full-bodied yet energetic, with a clean, lightly tart finish. Serve cool with washed-rind or blue cheese, cured meats, roast pork or a charcuterie board with pickles.
Gabbie’s Groovin’ Granny Smith Cider 4-Pack
Fresh green apple leads with a bright, tangy snap and a clean orchard aroma. Delicate sparkle gives the palate lift, while the Granny Smith fruit stays crisp and direct through a refreshing, lightly tart finish. Serve thoroughly chilled with fish and chips, pork sausages, sharp cheddar or a simple picnic spread; its brisk apple character is especially useful alongside salty or fried food.
Creek & Gully 2020 Fortuna Pet-Nat Cider
A layered orchard-fruit profile opens with fresh apple before turning herbal and quietly savoury. Red Delicious, Spartan, Braeburn and Salish apples give the palate breadth, with a richer middle balanced by natural freshness. The finish is composed and dry-leaning, carrying gentle botanical detail rather than overt sweetness. Serve chilled with roast chicken, pork, aged cheddar, mushroom dishes or herb-led vegetable plates.
