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."

Yellow color with no head. Wow... just piles of grains, grains, and more grains. Little bitterness or malt, but plent of grain silo mediocrity.

Bottle. Pours a translucent gold with small white bubbles around the rim. Nose is flowery hops, citrus fruits, tea leaves, and light malt. Taste is surprisingly flavorful! Bitter flowery hops, light tea leaves, citrus fruit, light creamy maltiness and some light herbal notes. Body is slightly creamy and smooth with minimal carbonation. Finsihes with more flowery and citrusy notes, creamy malts, light tea notes and light spice.

Bottle from Sainsbury, Ashford, Kent Golden beer with a surprising wonderful aroma with the late addition of hops. Flowery hops dominate throughout with citrus lemon coming in. Superb example of a beer of this type

Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Not as good as the draught, obviously but a very good bottled version. Zesty citrus hop aroma aroma, mouthfeel not bad considering the carbonation. Good long bitter finish.

Bottle from Sainsburys, Selly Oak, Birmingham. Lemon drizzle cake aroma. Big, soft head. Very fresh and clean lemon, orchardy citric flavour. Nice, crisp hops on a slight leather malt base. Very good balance. Not the biggest in terms of agression or crunchy hops, but a very proficient Golden and rightly revered.
