Fuller's Bengal Lancer and The Mysteries of Bottle Conditioning
I've just opened a Fuller's Bengal Lancer which insists it's bottle conditioned.
I think it may have been conditioned in a different bottle to the one I bought it in.. No sediment.
Not a great deal of taste either really beyond the initial mouthful. Some nice bitterness but too much crystal.
Nowt special.

I've never heard or seen that one. I think I may avoid it by the sounds of it. Can't see how they can claim its bottle conditioned if there is no sediment.

I looked it up on their website, it's listed as a 'seasonal' beer - available in pubs for just february & march (no mention at all of putting it - and conditioning it - in a bottle.) They even have a little video, which just like the beer, says absolutely nothing at all, I can't believe they wasted their time making it (like the beer)
I bought it in waitrose, haven't seen it anywhere else.

Not really. Its easily drinkable and the initial burst of hops is nice, but then it goes nowhere.
Much like me.... I need to win the lottery!

Ah, well glad I did as it goes as I wouldn't have bought it and I actually quite enjoyed it. In fact wish I'd bought more.
Devon - lucky git! have a good one!
