Tasted by a pint at the Wetherspoon's recent real ale festival, served by a non-sparkler hand-pull at my local branch, John Russell Fox in Andover. According to the festival programme, this "occasionally brewed beer was last available in 2004 and has been brought back especially for this Wetherspoon real-ale festival"; brewed with First Gold and Styrian Golding hops.

A: pours a bright pale amber hue, coming with an off-white fluffy head to last on top of visibly low carbonation.
S: very light malts and caramely sweetness pair with a touch of floral scent and longan-fruit aroma. Overall it's aromatic and hoppy, but balanced b/w hops and malts.
T: juicy pale malts with biscuity flavour and bitter tea-ish hoppiness go hand in hand upfront; dried citrus-ish and bitter tannins follow closely, with bitter, roughly crushed nut aroma lagging behind w/ a touch of sprigs. Medium+ level of bitterness lingers smoothly with an overwhelming hoppy aroma down the throat.
M&D: fresh on the palate but the carbonation remains low, medium-bodied, superbly balanced b/w sourness, bitterness and sweetness; this is a hoppy and aromatic bitter designed to quaff. Triple fff does have a few good hoppy ales it seems~~
