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 L.C.B.O..The color is a hazy orange with a beige head. The aroma is sweet and spicy. The taste is of hops and cirrus fruits with a very pleasant bitterness to it.

A coppery golden brew with a lasting white head. Smells limey citrus and grassy. Not much detectable malt under the cocktail of bitter fruity hops. Very appropriately named and fairly pleasent.

Pours bright golden color with a creamy, white, persistent head. Sweetish, lemony nose. Flavor begins slightly sweet and leaps into a medium bitterness, grassy and dry. Something is missing in between, it strikes me as disconnected somehow... Despite that raspy bitterness, the flavor lacks depth. Soft carbonation contributes to a light but creamy mouthfeel, especially as it warms. Refreshing, interesting, but I wanted something else from the flavor.

[947-20071209] Bottle (w/ jerc). Faint sweet orange hops aroma. Clear, pale orange brown body with a long-lasting foamy white head and big bubbles stuck to the side of the glass. Grainy orange hops flavour also has bitter grapefruit. Medium body is bitter. Not big on the grapefruit but a nice bitter otherwise.

Bottled sample via gregclow. Light orange in colour with moderate yet spritzy carbonation. Strong hop aromas of cut grass, lemon, and madarin orange. More of the lemon + cut grass element in the mouth, along with a subtle earthiness and very mild pale malts. Great clean and refreshing bitterness. An excellent bottled golden ale.

Hazy orangish pour with very little head. Very bitter scent. Strong bitter taste, too bitter like the taste on your tongue when you put something non-edible in your mouth. Not a fan of this at all. My wife tells me is clover flavoured.

Pours bright gold into an English pint. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sour malt aromas. Tart and smooth upfront with slight lemon middle and a lasting hop finish.
