Bass Pale Ale

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

Everytime I drink this, I am reminded of when I was 19 sneaking beers. Almond aroma in the back of the throat (not a falvor used often in beer descriptions), a classic bitter in every way. I notice among my friends, the older we get and more "mature" our palates get, the weaker this beer seems.

Great beer. Pours a dark amber and smells of almonds, smooth taste and smooth finish, great beer, will never turn one down

One of my favorite beers. Good from the bottle or on tap. Can taste the hops, but not overpowering for a pale ale. A pleasant aftertaste combined with a great amber-brown color also add to its appeal.

on Tap Oak Room , EE EoQ get together.... dark clear amber, with light white head,not much taste, easy to slam as we killed the keg in <2hrs

Tap. The orange gold pint came to me from a cute bartender, which made me thirsty...for more...ale. With a light malt aroma, I easily consumed that easy drinking pint quickly with notes of bitterness, malts, and a light cream element to it. I liked the sweet moments to it too.

Draft. Clear amber with a pillowy white head. Not much of an aroma, sweet malt, thin mouthfeel. Good carbonation and maybe a dry hop on the finish. Easy drinking.

Bottle. Thin white head, body is a light brown color. Nutty, malty taste, with a lasting lacy carbonation.

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.
