Cask: Special - JD Wergerspoon festival, Autumn 2010.
Bert Boyce and Dan Melideo, from Sam Adams Brewery, have travelled to Shepherd Neame Brewery, in Kent, to create this beer especially for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival. This very pale beer incorporates American intensity and English balance, showcasing East Kent-grown American Cascade hops – picked fresh from the field and in the brewery in a matter of hours. The result is an intense (yet soft) hop impression, moderate bitterness and fruity, complex character.
