I also noticed that the strength has been reduced from 7.2% to 6.7%, and the bottle size is now 330ml and not 500ml, (as mentioned in my post). I didn't see whether it was bottle-conditioned or not.<br /><br />Following on from Curmudgeon's first comment, the bottle I had definitely was everything a vintage bottle-conditioned ale should be. It's not easy to get bottle-conditioning right, and I am often wary of buying BCA's because of bad experiences in the past (fobbing, cloudy, flat, sour - you name it, I've unfortunately experienced it). Fullers have got it right, and I was going to say Brakspears have as well, but perhaps I'd better reserve judgement until I've had a chance to check again on the Triple.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-51895823962744279912012-05-05T16:15:46.118+01:002012-05-05T16:15:46.118+01:00I'm sure I read in some CAMRA publication that...I'm sure I read in some CAMRA publication that, while Triple had gone through a phase of not being bottle-conditioned, it has now gone back to bottle-conditioning, albeit at a lower strength of maybe 6.5%.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-52523378317674000272012-05-05T16:01:09.642+01:002012-05-05T16:01:09.642+01:00Downhill from here on I'm afraid.

When I asked Brakspear via their webpage portal I got no reply whatsoever (4+ weeks and not counting ...). Shame, once a good company and beer and now a so so beer and a don't care company.<br /><br />Progress? - I leave that up to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-17059881941142979612012-05-04T23:11:58.093+01:002012-05-04T23:11:58.093+01:00Sounds absolutely lovely - what a vintage bottle-c...Sounds absolutely lovely - what a vintage bottle-conditioned ale should be.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.com
