COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Available filtered in bottles, cans, and kegs.
A version of Bass for the North American market at 5%.
Brewed from the late 70s at Burton. In 2000, after Interbrew bought the Bass brand, production was switched to the Ulster brewery in Northern Ireland. In 2003 production and distribution was switched to Latrobe for a 12-18 period after which it reverted to the UK, latterly at InBev’s Samlesbury brewery. As of 2012, the US version was being produced at A-B InBev’s Baldwinsville brewery.

Draught and bottle. Having had a few versions of this I think the US version is the thinest and least rounded - in particular on the malt front.

Boa ESB americana. Cor âmbar, com pequena formacao de espuma. No nariz, herbáceo pouco evidente, contrabalançando com o malte torrado. Na boca, amargor agradável, equilibrado com o dulçor do malte a seguir. Retrogosto amargo suave. Ótima drinkability. Boa breja! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

hfmejias (397) - Dover, Delaware, USA - JUN 1, 2013
12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Pours dark amber with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma of grain, and caramel from malts. Taste is nice and bitter combined with some caramel malty sweetness. Overall a nice very drinkable beer.

Its a decent pale ale, they seem to have gotten the hops spot on with the flavor. A fruity aroma was detected. No head or lacing. I use this for a quick and cheap black and tan when I am in the mood and not much else

EtTuCthulhu (459) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - MAY 29, 2013
The color of this beer is a reddish orange with a small white head, and the aroma smells like dough yeast, bready malts, and a touch of caramel malts. The taste is mildly sour and a touch bitter, and the palate combines a medium body, soft carbonation, sour finish, and a slick texture, which merely exists without really standing out or making itself known.

Hanuta06 (158) - Washington, USA - MAY 25, 2013
Serving: from tap at Doyle’s Public House. Aroma: horse blanket. Appearance: small, off-white, initial head with no lacing and fully diminishing longevity. Clear, medium-amber body. Taste: lightly malty initial flavor and lightly acidic finish with average duration. Palate: light bodied with oily texture and lively carbonation. Overall: average.

Good classic ale taste. This is one of my favorite beers. Reminds me of when I was first learning to enjoy great beer.

I thought this was a decent beer, a little lighter than I had expected due to the dark apperance. Slightly bitter with a weak hop character.
