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."

Strong spicy hop aroma. Flavor is strongly bitter, eclipsing the malt. Slightly lemony finish. Not a fan of Styrian Goldings hops, so this beer was a little lost on me

The bitter hoppy aroma hits as soon as the bottle is openned; pours a pale blonde colour with a white head;good balance of honey sweetness and bitterness at first and than a zing a lemon. Very, very good.

Light blonde ale. Lovely frothy white head. Slight fruity flavour with a zesty scent. Great summer ale. Smells like a lager. Very enjoyable ale. Could have a few of these no problem.

Clear, light gold with a billowy white head. Fairly heavy malt aroma. Smooth, almost oily consistency, with a bit of tingly hops in the thick malt profile. Looks and tastes like a heavy lager.

Bottle thanks to Book_M_Dano. Enjoyed New Years eve 2006. Pours straw colored with champagne like bubbles. Spicy light bitterness and hints of grain sweetness in the aroma. Hay and grain. This is a bitter brew. Spicy hops dominate the flavor with hints of nothing else. There is little body to this one and the flavor is one dimensional. No malt to hold up the potent hops. Maybe I had a bad bottle as others seem to have enjoyed flavors mine completely lacked.

Bottle, 500 ml. Thin creamy, mostly lasting head over a clear pale orange/golden body. Pleasant fresh and floral hop aroma with notes of citrus. Taste is mellow and complex. Dry malt, grapefruit, honey, mild spices and delicate hops. Medium body. Supersmooth mouthfeel. Medium bitter dry finish. Very nice!
