Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#11. Certainly with a session strength and taste, there's definitely a floralness about the brew, which is at its developed best in aftertaste. A little more hoppy initially, all a little bland.

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#10. Blonde looking ale. I can find the mango and peach, but only just, and mostly in aroma, as although it's not thin, it doesn't have a lot of backbone.

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#3. Not a full-on brown style, in this quite hoppy clear golden-amber ale. Its malty too, not low on taste within its style and a decent festival version for this guest brewer. Some sweetness, only a slightly watery texture lowering the tone.

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#2. Paler clear golden coloured fest ale with plenty of body. This is quite a bittered IPA in both aroma and taste despite the plethora of fruity hops, with their influence underlying.

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#1. Starting with a strongest available, a mahogany coloured brew with a small glow. Its strength is most evident in aroma, but fruit, chocolate and darker malts are a tasty combination. Lager character with a bitter finish.
