bottle-conditioned
Carbonated in glass
Bottle-conditioned describes beer or sparkling wine that undergoes a secondary fermentation inside the bottle, producing natural carbonation.
Live yeast remains in the bottle, continuing to develop the beverage's flavor over time.
Bottle-conditioned beers often have a thin layer of sediment at the bottom: Pour carefully to leave the yeast behind, or swirl it in—your choice.
