Commercial Description:
Pasteurised bottle only.
A low-alcohol Sussex old ale (1%), produced from the Old Ale and retaining the essential character of this brew. As with the John Hop, the beer is produced identically to the parent product and the alcohol is only removed prior to bottling. A Bronze Medal Winner at the BBI Awards in 1990.

Bottle at The Dorset Arms, Lewes, 18th August 2007. Not sure if I got a sole bad bottle, but this did not have the essential character of the Old Ale (which I love). It had the essential character of diacetyl! Poured a carbonated mid brown, with a strong butterscotch aroma (uh oh) that carried over into the taste (which is extremely sweet) and capped off by the slippery mouthfeel. Even at only £1.05 a bottle, I’m not inclined to try it again...

Bottled (275ml). So, this is an OK beer, better than the John Hop low alcohol beer.. more body. Dark & sweet. It's not something I would ever bother drinking again.
