Golden yellow. Thin but lasting head.
Distant aroma of hop.
Light tangerine tasting hop with muted malt. Good balance.
Quite fizzy.
A reasonable but uninspiring pale ale.

Purchased in Bath during my recent visit to the lovely city; coming in a 500ml brown glass bottle, BB 30/01/2014, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: pours a semi-translucent, bright reddish amber colour, very mild carbonation sits underneath a thin white beer head.
S: cotton candy-ish sugary notes of pale malts come with a wee touch of melted caramel & honey, underlined by a fine touch of English citric hops & restrained acidic-yeastiness. Not very complex and yet still pleasant for this beer style.
T: the palate comes mildly spritzy, contrasting a swallow of soothing, liquidy biscuity pale malts with notes of nectar or faintly sour-sweet honey in each sip, which is in turn balanced by decent hop fruitiness, lightly “tingling” spiciness, and belated mineral-ish or semi-phenolic undertones, where a medium level of bitterness lingers alright in the finish.
M&O: mildly spritzy on the palate, the flavour is as refreshingly tasty as it is balanced, showing a decent input of hops on top of an essentially malt-rich flavour profile. All in all, this is an easy-drinking, balanced Golden Ale demanding very little effort for full appreciation from any drinker.

Brown 500ml bottle, no artificial or genetically modified ingredients.
Poured into a Veltins Pilsner glass.
Clear and bright, golden and lager looking (the glass helped to give the illusion), withits white head.
The aroma however told you this wasn't a lager/pilsner, the hops and yeast coming up from the glass instantly said, The UK.
Very English in the taste, clean and bitter-sweet feel to it. Dry with an even more dryness in the aftertaste. A lot more body to it than the colour indicates.
All in all, not bad.
