Agostino Arioli has travelled to Wadworth Brewery, in Wiltshire, to re-create this deep amber-coloured beer especially for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival. The hoppy aroma contains fruit and berry notes, leading to a malty backbone in the flavour, with hints of hazelnut and honey, a clean bitterness and a complex finish.

On cask at Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol, Spoons festival. Pours lightly hazed amber with an off white head. Aroma: sweet malts, yeasty. Taste: moderate sweet, sweet malts, some citrus, marzipan. Medium bodied, carb was fine, semi dry finish. Better than Wadworth's usual offerings but still a little odd.

Cask @ JDW Montgomery’s Tower, Shrewsbury. Pours golden amber with small white head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty. Really not sure what to make of the taste. Lots of sweet yeast, vanilla, marzipan.. a bit odd.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2016. Deep amber in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of sweetish, yeasty, malts and a touch of citrus fruit, with a whiff of leafy hop. Flavour had more sweet malts, additional fruit and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask at the Greyhound (JDW), Maidenhead. Golden amber with thin white head; aroma of berry fruit; soft fruity taste with a touch of chocolate, and a rich malty body, quite lively in the mouth; with a rounded bitterness; then lingering hazelnuts and honey. Rather good, I thought.
