COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Pasteurised.
Tesco Drink award 2008 Winner.
To entice laborours at harvest time, land owners would offer the promise of a hearty meal and ale, the latter often having drastic effects on the harvest - hence the demand for less potent ales, providing refreshment without compromising the quality of flavour. Harvesters ale is a full flavoured fruity refreshing ale - but with a lighter touch
