Bass Pale Ale

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

Bottle. Aroma starts with a moderate malt note of caramel and cereal, an herb note for the hops and dough and broth for the yeast with wood in the background. Head is small, white, fizzy/creamy and is mostly diminishing with good lacing. Flavor starts slightly sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery, and has a lively/fizzy carbonation. This used to be a favorite, nice and malty but still an average beer.

If you want a pale ale come to America. This is a well tasting pale ale but lacks in carbonation. Seems like everytime I get a sixer they are flat. i guess thats how they like it across the pond.

Pours absolutely clear, amber-colored, and with a small white head. Aroma of metal and caramel malts. Enters and exits fairly clean but without much in between. The butter is well-integrated. Balanced flavors, malt and hops mingle but without much complexity. Easy to find, easy to drink. I’m sure at one time this brew really shone, and I’m sure a pure cask version would be great.

Bottle, 5.1%, made in Britain. Semi-sweet, caramelly aroma. Clear amber colour. Fizzy, frothy head. The flavour is caramelly with some bitterness, rough at first, but turns more pleasant. Gets a little sour towards the finish.

35,5 cL bottle. Pours deep orange and clear with a light brown and diminishing head. Sweet and roasted malt and slight citric aroma. Flavour is soft malty, roasted to a bit of toffee, in addition it has a slight acidic/citric twist. Ends dry and bitter - very classic English.

Draft. Aroma of some creamy malt, fruit, and floral hops. The flavor is very similar, generally sweet and fruity, creamy mouthfeel and a slightly dry finish. It’s a decent ale that you can find on tap at many less-than-fine establishments.

Bottle. Pours a deep orange w/ medium white head. Smells of caramel and hops, tastes similar. Finishes with caramel and coffee notes. My absolute favorite

Nice deep orange in color. A nice tan head. A good session beer. not to hoppy, malty, or alcholic.
