COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle; Pasteurised.
"Beers for bottling are drawn from brewery conditioning tanks and transported by road tanker to our bottlers. There they are chilled, stored for ten days, then filtered and bottled. At the end of the bottling process, the bottles are pasteurised, labelled and packed."
"Brewed with many generous handfuls of choice Golding hops, it is full flavoured ale with a rich fruit nose. The bittersweet malty taste is followed by an uncompromising long, dry and bitter finish. This beer was the first, most successful, of all of our bottled beers."

Bottle. Hay, grass and soil aroma. Orange tan color -hazy with moderate head. Very grassy aroma with lighter malt and hops finish. A nice earthy ale.

nicholai (100) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JAN 14, 2006
Copper gold color, with a head that doesn’t linger. A very rich and creamy tasting beer. Hard hitting bitterness.

jmuhops (666) - Winchester, Virginia, USA - JAN 12, 2006
Pours red-amber with a two-finger white head. Very English aroma of biscuity malts, grassy hops, diacetyl, and toffee. Some citrusy fruitiness. The flavors all crash together--orange, toffee, diacetyl, and hop bitterness jumble together before a sharp, strange-tasting finish. I’m not the biggest fan of English beers, and this one didn’t change my mind.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 9, 2006
A Mes rate: 50cl bottle from Asda. Typically lifeless and uninspiring English beer. Hints of orange in the aroma. Orange coloured, crap head but rather lashings of lace surprisingly. Generally hoppy body and nothing else really stands out. Nothing I can be bothered to write about anyway. Don’t bother is my advice.

Palidor19 (2296) - Brandon, Florida, USA - DEC 28, 2005
This beer, is an enigma. It has a bad aroma but does have some decent fruity notes. It looks and pours great! but the taste is left to be desired. Unpleasant malts and hops with good aroma. notthe best
