Fred de Bruijne has travelled to Banks’s Brewery, in the West Midlands, to brew this beer especially for the Wetherspoon Spring 2016 real-ale festival. This golden beer has a balanced blend of fruit and hops in the aroma and flavour, with a developing boost from lightly roasted malt, plus a fresh, sparkling, long-lasting finish.

Hops: Perle

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2016. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of sweetish malts and a touch of green fruit, with a whiff of leafy hop. Flavour had sweetish, earthy, malts, some more yeasty stone fruit and a moderately bitter finish. So so.
