Draught at Newcastle Beer & Cider Festival 2026. Red colour, thin white bubbly head and aroma of strawberry jam. Taste is sweet, strawberry juice, jammy, sugary, with biscuity notes. Medium bodied, low carbobation, sweet strawberry finish. Quite ok, very sweet.

Rose pink with a strawberry aroma, fresh and fruity, brings strawberry yoghurt to mind, just a touch of tart acidity in the finish.

Bag in Box at Merton Beer Festival, Oxon, Saturday 25th February It was with some reluctance that I ordered a cider like this, however they are popular and it was a sensible abv. Pours red, clear, looks like a a kids fruit squash, and yep it’s tastes very, very much of strawberry. The apple is very much playing second fiddle. Not as bad as I expected. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0
