2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20 PapaSkeetSkeet (555) - Corvallis, Oregon, USA - NOV 2, 2010
Gold to light amber with thin white head. Aroma is what kills this beer for me- its almost soapy, perhaps a combined effect of malt, english hops and yeast. Slight graininess in the aroma, but overall astringent soapiness. Palate is thin with slight syrup. Malt sweetness is mild with slight caramel, and distributed over time. Mild to moderate bitterness kicks in after a second. Little hop flavor, mainly bitterness. sweetness becomes a little buttery/salty (only slightly) in the aftertaste as a result of the yeast (?) While better than a junk light american lager, this is close to as bad in my opinion.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 mjs (2865) - Helsinki, FINLAND - OCT 17, 2010
(Cast at some roadside pub close to Stonehenge) I haven’t had this beer for a long time - the previous time could have been in London in 2001. Bass Pale Ale is quite average bitter. Flavours and aromas contain toffee and malts. No suprises there. No flaws either. Ok but boring and too smooth.

12oz on tap pours light amber with average head. Malt aromas little carmel but very muted. Taste is smooth with flavors of pale malt and a little hop. Light to medium body, ok session beer
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 edwardbass (253) - Alabama, USA - OCT 11, 2010
Back in the day before I learned to appreciate truly good beer (thanks to the two guys who inducted me!), this was my "treat myself beer". I still like it, but now realize it’s not the "top of the heap". Malty aroma, not strong. Malty sweet with light hop bitterness. Gold color, small head. Kind of an off bitter, yet lightly sweet at the same time, aftertaste. Still OK in my book.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Metalchopz (1173) - Quebec, CANADA - SEP 30, 2010
Originally rated February 2005. Bass pale ale pours an amber maple syrup colour with a good head and some lacing. Carbonation is medium and so is mouthfeel. Aromas are of sweet malt and some metallic scent. Taste is smooth, with hints of butterscotch and fruits. Hop is present as this brew is mildly bitter. Excellent session beer by Interbrew, and easy to find in most bars and pubs.

Slightly hoppy, malty aroma. Reddish brown pour with a white head. Flavor of light hops, thick malts, and light spice. Heavy herbal, carbonated aftertaste.
