Wetherspoons first Real Ale festival since pre-Covid / Lockdown commences this week featuring 20 ales from the UK and Ireland.

I'm particularly looking forward to ...

Festival Ale (Gatehouse, Doncaster)

Conwy Brewery El Camino 4.0%

A Golden Ale. Pours clear golden with a small white head and lacing. Aroma, faint citrus. Taste is slightly hoppy with some citrus. On the bland side for my taste buds (hence having it first).
