Cask up the White Lady. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas are slightly sulphurous, light lemon and biscuit. Taste is chalky and odd. Something chemical and bubblegum. Not sure if this was the brewers intention? Didn't finish it. Which for a £1.99 pint is saying something. Tick 10 I think from the fest.

Wetherspoon 2025 Autumn Beer Festival. Ale#12 of 26 untried possibilities at the fest. Golden with a creamy head. Session smooth texture, a little bland in its hoppy-fruitiness, especially in its dryish aftertaste.
