COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask, Occasional;
This new beer is scheduled for general release in July, but makes its first outing exclusively for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival. It is a straw-coloured, full-bodied beer, with a light and refreshing flavour, plus a delicate hint of strawberry, leading to a thirst-quenching finish.
