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."

Deep red color with nice foamy head. Smell is quite mild, with some smoky and malty notes. Taste is quite sweet but developes to a nice round bitter finish.Overall its nice ale but nothing spectacular.

Bottle. Pasteurised in metal vat aroma. Orange body with white head. Bitter beer and some mild sweet malts but not much more than swill. Ordinary beer on palate.

A light, refreshing, but thick ale, that has a satisfyingly concentrated aroma. I find it very well balanced in every respect. Or is it maybe a tad too bitter? No, it’s just good.
