Cider in a box at 13th Elysian Winter Beer Festival in Ely. Clear deep amber. Fresh apple juice aroma. Taste is mostly apple flesh, some apple skin, light subtle edge of strawberry at the finish. I'd miss it if it weren't in the name. And its presence might just be my imagination. Medium sweet

330ml can. Pinkish gold appearance, thin white head. Never had a strawberry mojito before, but I can detect strawberry and mint here, so I expect that's what's intended. Moderately sweet, good carbonation. Ok.
