Bass Pale Ale

Brewed by Samlesbury (InBev UK - InBev)
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Preston, England

I was surprised to find that I had not rated this one. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze-amber color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was sour, tangy - a bit skunky and had a dry floral hop presence. The flavor was tangy, bitter and had a moderate floral hop presence. The finish was tangy, bitter and tasted a bit off. Sadly this rating of the bottle gets better scores that I would give the draft which I have had a time or two in the past when I have forgotten that while this is named Bass they really should have left the "B" out of the name.

Bottle. Light hop nose. Bright and clear orange-brown. Solid hop presence, drinkable. Pretty okay beer.

One of my all time favorite beers. Buy over and over again if in need of something easy to have a couple of. Very nice color and taste.

Bottle. Pours amber / brown. Aroma is sweet, caramel. Flavor is malt, caramel. Finish is dry. A good beer when choices are limited.

Pours dark amber with 1 finger head. Good lacing as well. Aromas of molasses and malt. Flavour contained a good complex malt character- but thats about it. Enjoyable, but not extraordinary.

bottle. poured a ambery brown color. smell was a malty, hoppy brown sugar. taste was bland and left a bitter after taste.

Golden amber. Off white thick head, but very short. Aroma of malts and some light hops. First sip is same. Nothing outstanding, but not bad either. a decent session beer.

On tap. Unfortunately, had along side a pint of Pliny. Nose, flavor and everything else was quite bland. Not bad, and probably a good session beer.
