Bass Pale Ale

Copper color with short lived head. Smells more malty than hoppy. Flavor is mostly malt with a bit of hop bitterness. A little bland, but better than American macros or anything else you’d find at a crap bar or a restaurant.

Better than the bottle version. Very creamy with some hop flavor. good for summer boating or where you don’t want to take glass.

I’ve drank Bass many a time but never rated it. Not a bad mass produced beers and could easily be one of my commonly produced favorites. Good mix of malt and carbonation. Slight tinny finish and this was from a tap.

Clear amber with a disappearing head. Mostly caramel aroma and some barnyard. Sweet then mild hop bitter. Wasn’t expecting much from a mass produced English Ale and it lived up to that.

Copper pour, big head, some lace, Beery aroma. Medium carb, very sweet, with a good beery flavor. Some grainy corny flavor with no bitterness at all. Very smooth for an ale, tasty.

50 cl can, Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Pale amber colour, frothy head that settle slowly. Faint aroma, mildly carbonated, well representative even if from a can, slight tinny aftertaste (or is that my imagination?). Quite mild, perhaps too much so for a ’premium’ but very drinkable.

I can’t believe it took me over 1500 beers before I tried Bass. Oh well, such is the case. Pours a translucent light copper with a one finger offwhite head. Nose is sweet, malty, mild herbal hop aroma, some yeast esters. Flavor is sweet, caramel, crisp, mild hop feel with little to no bitterness. Palate is a tad thin and sweet and lacking in hop bitterness. Meh.

500 ml can. Pours dark amber to copper in colour, with off-white head, good retention. Aroma of earthy hops, similar flavour. Carbonation is lively.
