Bottle from Connollys Wines, Solihull. Poured a ruby red colour with a thin tan head. The aroma is of toffee and caramel. The flavour is bitter rich and zesty with smooth caramel notes. The flavour was quite unexpected. I’m looking forward to more beers from Bath Ales.

On tap @ the Haymarket. Pours golden to amber with a good amount of carbonation and a nicely proportioned head, The nose has lemon, grapefruit and hay. The taste has more of the same but emphasis on the citrus. The palate is light to medium bodied with a clean finish. Overall, a good session ale.

500ml bottle, 4.7% abv., kindly shared by Finn. Very nice golden-brown body with a beige head with some duration. Roasted nutty malts to the nose. Flavoured with mid-sweet roasted malts and vanilla pods offset by resinous hops. Spiced bitter ending. Pleasing (session at Finns in Tromsø, 05.06.2012).

Dark amber beer. Light semi crisp palate. Pretty well balanced. Even malt base- orangey fruit hops that are not too bitter at all. Unsweet caramel in the finish. Decent.
