Box @ Station Hotel, Oakengates. Pours a vivid, extremely bright pink, with pinkish white foam topping. No information on what exactly this cider is, and expected fruit additions. Surprisingly aroma is fleshy bittersweet apple fruit. Taste bears similar high juice fleshy fruit with soft gripping tannins, good pithy apple pips and core. Very good clarity of flavour. Excellent fruity cider, even if its complexion is a little unsettling.

Tap at Quakerhouse, Darlington. Deep red colour, thin pink foam head leaving some lacing on the glass and concentrated strawberry aroma with green kiwi notes. Taste is strawberry jam and some astringent kiwi fruit. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, sweet and jammy finish. Quite OK.
