Purchased in an organic shop in North London. Coming in a 330ml green bottle, BBE 22/10/06, it's served lightly-chilled in a slim goblet.

A: pours a light straw hue, the white beer head is loosely-formed, against a fiercely-carbonated body consisting of huge and microscopic bubbles...
S: a not very assertive note of doughy lager malts come with an equally mild floral scent of German noble hops (Hallertau in this case); more sweetish and slightly grainy hints from lager malts at the back. Pretty mild but not unpleasant at all.
T: semi-thick maltiness prevails upfront, fast giving way to a mixed flavour of honeyish note+sugar cane juice+cold boiled cabbages+toasty malts... the hop flavour is reduced to next to non-existence on the palate, if the residual, subdued dryish touch can't even remind one of hops... The finishing palate is not crisp nor clean, leaving a slightly sticky feel, like unfermented starch.
M&D: spritzy and semi-sharp on the mouthfeel, very thin-bodied, without any focus on the palate. I'm quite let down by this beer, esp. when the Bath Ales does so many good cask ales--perhaps that's where a line should be drawn in terms of brewing efforts? No comments.
