This new golden ale, brewed exclusively for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival, has a tropical fruit aroma burst, leading to pleasing bitterness, with plenty of citrus notes, resulting in a long, refreshing finish.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Lightly hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry. Nice level of crispness. Light smooth pale malts. Pleasant light floral notes. Good orangey and lemon citric hops backed by a little yellow grapefruit. Peel bitterness in the semi dry finish. Peel bitter linger. Well hopped and very drinkable.

Cask @ Sir Titus Salt, Bradford. Golden with a thin frothy head. Has a healthy hoppy fruitiness - crisp with plenty of taste, a decent nose and a medium bitterness.

Cask at the Crosse Keys (JDW), Leadenhall. Amber with a ring of white head; tropical fruit aroma; rather thin with a tropical fruit taste; and a dry finish with lasting fruit. Pleasant and moreish.

Cask handpull Hamilton Hall Spoons. Clear gold lasting white head. Light simcoe hop on a yeasty golden ale. Fine but just not very interesting. Some drying grapefruit hop on the finish. Ok.
