I've noticed this. It's a fine bottled pale ale but nothing special. I get a lot more caramel sweetness from the bottled version which is why I wondered if the recipe is different but have also heard pasteurisation can have the affect of reducing hop character and increasing the perception of sweetness...orlando wrote:You will be disappointed and confused.

Re: AG#15 - Timothy Taylor Landlord
Bottled beers are just made differently, they tend to be stronger, to stand up to what might be a long shelf life and in this case filtered and probably pasteurised for similar reasons. Net effect is nothing like the real thing. You can see why CAMRA insist on BC bottled beer.MrN wrote:I've noticed this. It's a fine bottled pale ale but nothing special.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but is the Shakespeare pub still there? I ask because I've just bought a pub sign (The Shakespeare) on ebay and was told it was from a pub in Birmingham.cerbera84 wrote: Its been a while since I had a cask version of this (about 8 years ago in the Shakespeare in Birmingham, IIRC) so I'll have to get a bottle and compare.

Interestingly the bottled landlord is actually weaker than cask which seems unusual.orlando wrote: Bottled beers are just made differently, they tend to be stronger, to stand up to what might be a long shelf life and in this case filtered and probably pasteurised for similar reasons.

Re: AG#15 - Timothy Taylor Landlord
It was originally a bottled beer then cask came after I think, which is a bit unusual . I prefer the cask too, pasteurising traditional pale british beers tends to give them a boiled sweet character I'm not fond of
