Bass Pale Ale

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

Cider color; Medium body; Aroma of malt & a hint of dry fruit; Flavor mainly of malt, some caramel and grains; Very slight bitterness at the finish; Overall, a solid brew & easy to drink - though, middle of the road for me.

Draft. Poured a deep orange/amber with a smaller white head. Aroma was grainy cereal and some amber malts. Flavor had a little more potency with lots of bread and grains and a slight touch of nutts. Drinkable but sooo many better easy to find beers out there.

The appearance is a super-clear light orange with a solid foamy white head. Looks watery, but not thin. The aroma is sweet ale malt. More like a regular ale than a pale. Above average pub ale smell. THe flavor is sweetbread malt. Vague pale malt flavor, with some okay yeast presence. It’s slightly substandard out of the can. Too sweet of an aftertaste, and tastes like dishsoap as it warms up. Feels watery with a sweet burn on the way down. Milkier than expected. Soapy. It’s disappointing. I generally like Bass on tap but out of the can it didn’t hit the mark. Not awful, but subpar.

Pours clear water rust copper gold. A love in a pint and ready to chug with cronies and bolognies. Taste is a tad weak and has metallic hints with bread like features. Not a pale that I am used to but an english traet and who can bad mouth the brits.

On tap @ IAH. Pours a clear amber color with a small offwhite head. Sweet aroma of bready malts, some caramel. Medium body reveals more sweetness, honey, with a slightly metallic finish. Drinkable, standard ale.

Pours an orange yellow, fairly clear. Nose was bland, no real hop smell, mostly grains and sugar. Taste is nutty, bread, thin caramel, grains, floral hop bitterness, no hop flavor.

Had on keg several times and bottled : This hasn’t had street creed since 1988 .I was only 6 then , but believe me I’m psychic or something : Its more amber than "pale " coloured. Very malty, biscuty -toffee and late dry bitternes.

Light aroma with fruit citrus notes. Pours out a dark amber with a light head. Some hoppy flavor with a light palate. The finish is short and is a bit lacking. A nice lighter beer, easy to drink but light in flavor.
