This beer makes its national début at this festival, having previously been a special brew available only to those Wetherspoon pubs local to the brewery. It is golden amber in colour, with an initial hoppiness in the aroma, leading to a light, sweet maltiness, with a long, bitter finish.

Half, from cask at Standing Order (JDW). Near-clear, amber body with a bubbly ring on the top. Plain malt-fruity aroma. Well blended flavour of sweet malts and tropical fruits. Slight indications of anise. Oily hops on the swallow. Nice (Edinburgh, 29.11.2010).

[Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading] Pale amber, slight white head, slight fizz. Sweet & fruity up front, with a good crisp bitterness following through. Simple, but well executed and enjoyable.

JDW Fest Autumn 2010
Cask @ Crystal Palace, JDW. Golden colour, small off-white head. Aroma is vegetable malts, sweat, butter. Flavour is vegetables, butter, diacetyl. Disgusting. Must be off.

Spoons Fest! Clear gold beer, small white head. Semi dry palate. Reasonably well balanced. Dry and slightly creamy malt. Bittering orange and grapefruit hops. Dry finish and bitter lingering aftertaste. Standard stuff.
