Commercial Description:
The filtered bottle version of the 3.8% cask ale.
Note: This is not the beer that won Supreme Champion in 2003.
"Bottled with approximately 1/3rd less Carbon Dioxide than most beers. This results in a fresher more natural tasting beer. Combines Hallertau Hersbrücker with Challenger. Late hopped with Styrian Goldings, which gives a sharpness like the twist of a lemon."

500ml bottle from SAQ. Pours clear yellow witha small head. Nose is very malty and quite citrusy. Note of hops. Carbonation is really soft. Taste is lightly hoppy and quite malty. Finish is not very bitter. Highly drinkable and very refreshing. Very clean and rather crisp. A bit watery however.

Pours golden yellow with no top at all. Very light aroma with some bitterness. The actual flavor is very light too but the finish is strong with some bitterness and hops. Not my kind of beer although many seem to like it.

Bottle into a pint glass. Pours like clear apple juice with basically no head. The aroma is a hint of skunk and a touch of apples and nice grassy hops. The flavor is mostly grain, a bit dry, and some sweetness. It’s rather light and clean.

500ml bottle. Clean and crisp with a well formed tight white head and deep amber colour. Aromas of lemon rind with a coriander backdrop. Spicy, dirty flavour that is crisp on the palate and a little bit different.

Bottle. Very rich sweet floral aroma with a rich caramel malt backbone. Pours a foogy sediment filled gold that deepens to orange in the center. Thin soapy white head that leaves wavy thin lines of lacing. Flavor is dry, herbal and grassy with a toasty malt body. Medium bodied with a light bitter finish.

500ml bottle. Pours clear orangey yellow with a small just off white head showing average retention. Quite marked hoppy aromas of citrus fruits (mainly oranges) and flowers. It has a moderately sweet malt backbone with a solid fruity dry hop finish that persists. Medium bodied with a slick texture. Thirst quenchingly good.
