As one of the two Wetherspoon pubs in York is being refurbished it scuppered my plans to pick up a few more Ale Festival ticks on an extended 3 hour break between changing trains. I ended up with one at the one open pub, but that's allowed me to sample this new one for me in a new venue in the much visited city for me. Clear copper-glowing dark amber beer with a glorious head. Malty, and the bready name is not wasted here either, there's plenty of those notes too.
