Commercial Description:
Bottle; Pasteurised.
"Beers for bottling are drawn from brewery conditioning tanks and transported by road tanker to our bottlers. There they are chilled, stored for ten days, then filtered and bottled. At the end of the bottling process, the bottles are pasteurised, labelled and packed."
"Brewed with many generous handfuls of choice Golding hops, it is full flavoured ale with a rich fruit nose. The bittersweet malty taste is followed by an uncompromising long, dry and bitter finish. This beer was the first, most successful, of all of our bottled beers."

Bottle pours light brown with a slight off white head. Yeasty aroma with some grain and oat in there. Off flavors at the beginning of the sip. Slight burnt rubber taste. Sweeter than imagined before drinking. Average.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Mild yeasty and delicate fruity hops note in the aroma. Mild fruity initial flavoured with a subdued sweetness quickly turning into a more grassy and bitter hops flavour with a light citrusy note. Bitter, citrusy, light grassy and dry finish.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano. Pours a nice hazy amber with thick off-white head. Aroma is floral, fruit. Flavor is nice, caramel, fruit, hops, with nice hop bitter. Mouthfeel is medium body with medium-high carbonation....not bad.
