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."

Bottle. High creamy and lasting white head. Hazy light yellow body. Mild lemon aroma. Lemon coriander flavor with low carbonation and a long aftertaste.

More of a pils with citrus aromas than a blond beer. No head but lots of citrus and saltiness with plenty of grip. Good beer.

bouteille brune de 500ml, bière blonde très gouteuse, bonne amertume, mousse légère, longue en bouche, une des meilleures blond ale que j’ai gouté.

yes - a bittern nip is sucker. could be lemon. Blonde looker. Quick finish, a good drop. Not a night time basher - but a six-er could be done easily enough with to much self damage or carpet tongue

Bottle - Bitter and twisted is what I felt after trying this. Tart and fruity fizzyness that made this a tongue tingler. Yikes, I will pass on this yeasty sour sucker in the future.

500ml bottle.Hazy dark straw body with a small bit of creamy head. Sharp nose, citrusy particularly lemon, floral and spicy, somehow reminded of a Belgian wit from first impression. Carbonation is low, body has dense chalky grittiness about it, as if their the body had plenty of suspended yeast, giving the impression that it isn’t as lean as first suggested. Bitter orange on the body, some earthy spice and wheaty malt in the mix, finish has citric sharpness about it. Nothing like I expected, very different that’s for certain, and i’m somehow reminded of one of my homebrewed pale ales that didn’t work out that way I planned...not sure thats a good thing or not. Nice regardless.
