Commercial Description:
Available filtered and pasteurised in 500ml bottles.
"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."
"Distinctive balance between the flavours of fruity Golding variety hops, Maris Otter malted barley and demerara sugar. Strong and refreshingly long, dry and bitter finish."

I survived 28 years in the UK without ever seeing an episode of the TV show after which this beer is named, so my time there wasn’t entirely wasted. However, the brewer assures us that this bitter represents "the very best of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales – in a bottle". That’s harsh on the Dales. Not that this is a shocker, just that the Dales are quite spectacular. The beer is a dull amber colour with a tall souffle-like head. The aroma is dominated by that ghastly pasteurised boiled lolly odour, with honey and pepper notes. Standard light bitter body, moderate carbonation. Sweet malts and honey initially, then some burnt toast and a shot of Goldings spice in the finish. Run of the mill pasteurised bitter. (500ml bottle, IBS Perth)

Bottle. An amber coloured beer with a whitish head. The aroma is sweet and malty with a little caramel and toffee. The taste is quite bitter with sweet slightly floral hop notes. A dull bitter which is a bit boring.

Bottled:
Spicy and fruity hop aroma (aroma hops). Hazy orange color, huge off-white head. Fruity, hoppy very pleasant fresh flavor. Light malty sweetness. Quite bitter, hoppy and dry finish. Quite nice hoppy beer. but a bit watery in the end.

(Bottle) Pours amber, with a nice stable head. Plesant bitterness, with notes of fruits and hops. Enjoyable and easy to drink.

An orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is hoppy and slightly dusty - must be the Goldings, but it is also sweet and slightly fruity. The flavor is fruity and hoppy on a sweet background, but also hints of dust, leading to a fruity hoppy end which is slightly sticky.

Bottle, at home. Orange with white head, almost lasting, fine lacings. Aroma moderate malty (Maris Otter, fruity, brown sugar) and hoppy (Goldings). Flavor moderate sweet and bitter, long duration. Light body, watery, flat carbonated.
