Peter Croonenberghs has travelled to Banks’s Brewery to brew this session IPA for Wetherspoons. It is pale amber in colour, with a fruity aroma and plenty of citrus notes throughout, balanced by a moderate malt flavour, leading to a soft bitterness and dry, refreshing finish.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2023. Golden in colour with a slight, off-white, head. Floral hops, some lemon and stone fruits, slightly yeasty malts, before a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Pours a clear orange gold colour with a small frothy white head that quickly disappeared. The aroma is fruity, pink grapefruit, white grape and some earthy hop notes. A moderately sweet taste, sweet malts, grapefruit and peach flavours with a moderate hoppy bitterness.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops and malts with a hint of yeast. In the mouth, malts and yeast are the main flavours along with some floral hops and traces of banana, spices and cloves. Finish is a little dry. This is definitely better than I expected – I would call it a Belgian style IPA though.

My first JDW Festival beer of the Spring 2023 season, and it's a 'foreign' one. Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a subtle fruit aroma. A kick of hop bite up front, some fruity notes and a dry, bitter finish.

Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Clear, slightly deeper golden with a glow and a thin head. Feeling a little stronger tasting than it is, there's a pretty good hop-malt balance here with a touch of biscuit to the latter behind a citrus flavour. Bitter finish.
