Cask up the White Lady. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas are slightly sulphurous, light lemon and biscuit. Taste is chalky and odd. Something chemical and bubblegum. Not sure if this was the brewers intention? Didn't finish it. Which for a £1.99 pint is saying something. Tick 10 I think from the fest.

Decent enough sweet malty bitter. Amber brown with a frothy / creamy off-white head and a soft aroma of fruit malt. Medium bodied and smooth with sweet fruit malt, a little kick of floral bitterness and a dry fruity finish.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a tight white head; floral aroma; dry in the mouth with some oriental spice and a herbal bitterness; then lots of tea-like tannins in the finish. Not my kind of thing.

Wetherspoon 2025 Autumn Beer Festival. Ale#13 of 26 untried possibilities at the fest. Fuller-bodied light floral and herbal tasting effort, with its aftertaste bringing out its ingredients in this respect. Hopped too. Clear light golden.
