Retro review from Spring 2012 Wetherspoons Beer festival; this beer should be reported to trade descriptions the pump clip suggests hops, but I can’t find them smell them taste them. Other than that a decent English bitter.

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours a lightly hazy gold with a creamy, off-white cap. Creamy malt nose with hints of toast and caramel. Light to medium sweet flavor with notes of toffee, , light toast, some leafy and dirty bitters. Light bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Mild sweet toffee finish with lasting light grassy and leafy hops. Nice beer.

Much more malty in its aroma and flavours than the name would suggest it is.

Hamilton Hall Spoons. Light palate, pretty dry. Astringent hops - dry bitterness dominates. The fruit, when you get to it, is orange with a little mango. Dry bitter finish with minerals.
