Cask at The Village Inn Wetherspoon in Rayners Lane. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium creamy white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, pine then some tropical fruit. A decent enough effort, did expect it to be a little more complex.

When you’re hoping for a big WC IPA, but know it’s JDW, this is actually not too bad! Golden amber with a frothy white and a touch of chill haze. Aroma is a bit soft, just very mellow malt, citrus and a hint of pine. A little chewy, with sweet fruity malt, some hints of pine and citrus hops, and moderately bitter.
