This beer has been brewed exclusively for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival and is named after the year when Blackpool FC was formed, known as ‘the tangerines’, because the director of this brewery is a fan! Dark crystal malt creates a rich, orangey-red colour, while the English hops give a crisp, fruity aroma and spicy bitterness in the flavour.

JDW Fest. Hazy amber beer, little off white head. Dry palate. Slightly toffeeish malt with a goods balance of bitterish marmalade hop. Finishes dry with a bitter lingering aftertaste. Ok.

Cask handpul at Hope Spoons Reading. Clear copper colour with lasting thin beige head. Strangely ordinary for an Acorn beer. Some intense on a growing finish which is good. Plenty bitter on finish. Some malt in mouth. But apart from that finish its a bit run of the mill. Fine

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a dense cream head; fruity aroma; biscuity malt flavour; and a crisp tangy hoppy finish. A pleasant, easy-drinking, bitter.
