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."

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - SEP 12, 2002
An orange beer with very little head. It has a very nice fruity aroma of orange. It is slightly bitter with hints of orange. A very refreshing beer - that I’ve like to have again.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Mild yeasty and delicate fruity hops note in the aroma. Mild fruity initial flavoured with a subdued sweetness quickly turning into a more grassy and bitter hops flavour with a light citrusy note. Bitter, citrusy, light grassy and dry finish.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 3, 2006
[Bottled at East End Brewery, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong] Brownish amber, clear, firm head. Pleasant mangoish hop aroma. Dryish with clean mouthfeel Pleasant biscuity malt flavour. The moutfheel is short and quickly replaced by grassy bitterness with a touch of sulphur. Unadventurous, but well crafted.
