Box @ The Crown, Oakengates, as La Cantina 'Strawberry Fields'. Pours a vivid red, pinkish white head. Sweet nose. Taste is sweet, harsh.. no strawberries used in the making of this apparently, not entirely sure what it is but could not manage more than a couple of sips. Could be just a bit old.

Box @ The Royal Oak, Shrewsbury. Pours a misty unclear amber orange. Sour nose with light fruit. Taste is lightly fruity, with medium sweet raw apple juice, soft peach with a jagged acidic, super tangy sour edge. Not hugely peachy but it is there in the background.

Keg @ Pumproom, Halifax. Hazed golden-amber. Very vinegary but not off (although I was told it had not been pulled through the lines for a while). Some tangy apple evident.

Cask @ Pumproom, Halifax. Dirty orange colour. The rhubarb provides a flavoursome sweetness to the cider, but not an overbearing one.

Cask @ The Works, Sowerby Bridge, as La Cantina Strawberry Fields. Deep clear amber-red in colour. The cider is dryish, with the strawberry element firmly in its background and aftertaste, although it does provide a small sweetness too.
