Common descriptors are
Cask; Occasional. Orignally a special for Wetherspoons Spring 2014 International Real Ale Festival but has reappeared since. Richard Adamson has made his third visit to brew a beer especially for a Wetherspoon real-ale festival, returning to Banks’s Brewery, in Wolverhampton. This beer is a modern take on the traditional English best bitter style, with a solid malt backing of caramel and toffee, balanced by hints of spice and a mellow, deep citrus flavour, leading to a long refreshing finish.
