Cider matured in oak barrels
Canadian ice cider has a long history in the province of Ontario, with the earliest records dating back to the late 1800s with the Meyer family orchards. They were the first to make cider specifically for commercial sale, selling it as a produce at farmers' markets in the spring and summer. Since then, cider has also become one of Canada's most popular beverages.
The best way to describe Canadian ice cider is that it's light and refreshing. It's a great summer drink that pairs well with food. If you're looking for something as quintessentially Canadian as beer or maple syrup, you need a chilled mug of cider!

In terms of taste, it's fair to say that Canadian cider can be quite sweet, but there are also dry varieties. This is actually quite common for the palates of drinkers who are accustomed to sweeter drinks. The acidity comes from the fermentation process, which breaks down sugars and turns them into alcohol. The sweeter varieties have a lower alcohol content, less than 3%. % of alcohol by volume. Drier varieties contain more alcohol, around 6 % of alcohol by volume.
The fresh ice ciders you'll find in our selection are meant to be enjoyed chilled and on their own, without any added flavorings. They are naturally gluten-free and contain no GMO ingredients. These are more traditional-style products.
