Conditioned is a hazy pale ale that’s been subjected to the relatively rare process of can-conditioning. Allowing refermentation in package in order to condition and carbonate the beer is usually a process reserved for large format bottles of fancy saison and Coopers. It’s a difficult process to master and getting it wrong usually means an explosive recall or a muddy flat beer. With Conditioned, Slow Lane continue to demonstrate their prowess with some of the lesser utilised dark arts of the brewing world to create a bright, quaffable pale.
The hopping combo of Citra and Motueka works well with the yeast esters to create a summer fruit dessert buffet of lemon-lime curd, mandarin, pear and vanilla. The lovely full mouthfeel of wheat malt is soft and mildly sweet offset with a restrained bitterness and clean, dry finish.
