This new beer has been developed especially for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival, using a new American hop variety, in collaboration with hop merchants Charles Faram. This deep golden beer has powerful, zesty fruity hop notes in the aroma, plus hints of grapefruit, citrus and lychees.

Cask at Tanners Hall, JDW Darlington. Clear golden colour, foam white head leaving some lacing and fruity citrus hoppy aroma. Taste is caramel malt with tropical fruit lychee and citrusy grapefruit bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, tangy dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Lightly hazy gold beer, residual pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry. A dusty pale malt dryness here. Trace of honey. Mild citric hops in reasonable balance. Light dry finish. Flavours are fine but the dust is very off putting.

Cask at the crosse keys bank. Mostly clear golden orange coloured pour with a lasting thin white head. Aroma is subdued grains, light lemon citrus. Where is this hop burst? Flavour is clean and grainy with a little grass and lemon twang. Palate is medium light bodied with soft carbonation. Nice condition. Goes down well.
