So many juicy, hand-picked strawberries packed into one glass! An oustandingly drinkable premium fruit cider that has all the natural flavours of soft fruit: fresh strawberries with a little apple zing. Far superior to commercial fruit ciders. Beautiful golden colour with a red tinge. Fresh strawberries dominate. Surprising crunchy finish and refreshing taste with subtle strawberry on the palate.

No head, colour the cross between clear gold, ochre and red copper. Strawberry jam nose, but with a faint, almost smokey aroma of dry powdery spices, dry mealy apples. Sweet, honey, mead-like flavour, very surprising. Flavours of cucumber, strawberry, lime. Diluted strawberry jam; whiff of incense. Serious dry-out effect, all the more surprising seen the sweetness. Light. Quite unsettling, pulling into different directions at the same time. Likeable, if tending to be unbalanced.
