A 500ml bottle. It pours a clear golden color with small white head. Aromas caramel, leaves & apples. Tastes of tangy orange, biscuit, lemon, hay, flowers & malt. Medium bodied. Aftertaste has a medium fruity bitterness.

Look is a crystal clear, flat, copper colour with a thin, open, white head that quickly recedes to a faint cap.
Smell is faintly citrus. A gentle swirl reveals sweet malt.
Taste is very subdued. There is some sweet malt and light hop bitterness. It's balanced but underwhelming.
Feel is light and smooth with gentle carbonation and soft bitterness. There is a softness that saves it from becoming watery.
This is an easy drinking golden ale that verges on bland.

500ml bottle poured into a pint glass
Look: Pours a golden yellow with a fair amount of fluffy, off-white head. Decent head retention and some residual lacing, giving way to a thin collar and some surface foam.
Smell: Really not much going on - faint spiciness and hints of malt but very little else.
Taste: Not much going on taste-wise, either - the bottle mentions Maris Otter barley and Golding hops. The former would go some way to explaining the slightly buttery vibe but there's very little evidence of the latter barring some residual bitterness. Not unpleasant, by any means, but it's not going to set your world alight either.
Feel: Lightweight in every respect - not much in the way of carbonation, and even if there were there aren't really any flavours for it to support. Slips down well enough, but pretty unmemorable.
Overall: In one word: bland - very little in the way of outstanding flavours or smells means that this is a pretty 'anonymous' brew. Sessionable, but unremarkable.

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.
