Bottle from Sainsbury’s, Derry [010414]
Golden, clear, frothy white head, some lacing
Aroma of soft pale malts, very slight zest, dull
Taste of soft pale malts, moderate bitter hops, touch of honey, slight zest, hops mainly just bitter
Palate - Light to medium body, fairly bitter, soft sweet pale malts. Finish as main flavour, bitter bit twiggy hop
Overall - Simple golden ale, below average supermarket fare. Gets boring fairly quickly

500ml bottle: BBD 11 July 2014, poured into a UK pint sleeve on 27 Aug 2013. I found this to be one dimensional and fairly boring. Poured a golden colour, as the name suggests: clear and bright enough, with a thin white head that soon turned into a wisp and collar. Mild malty and spicy nose: not much of anything really. Light weight in taste as well, some malt and hop notes but again not a lot of either. This isn’t unpleasant, just a bit bland and so-so in every department. A shame because I like all the rest of the Bath Ales I’ve come across. One to miss I’m sorry to say.

Clear pale yellow appearance, not much head. Has a grapefruit citrus nose although it is a little less stated in taste. Has some lager character.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours an almost clear golden with only a tiny film of white head. Lovely spicy aromatic hops. Light body, low carbonation, a nice downplayed fruitiness with only a suggestion of hops. Pleasant and sessionable. 030113

Slightly hazy amber - gold beer. Light crisp palate. Bitterish marmalade hops with a soft even malt base. Lingering bitter aftertaste. A bit too much of the hop bitterness and not enough hop fruit. Refreshing though!

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a small, white head. Rahter buttery nose with fruityness. Quite buttery on the palate too, with some fruityness and a pleasant bitterness. Medium body. Some bitterness in the finish. A very boring one, and not very good either. Might be interesting to try fresh from cask. 110819
