Commercial Description:
Basement Batch is is a traditional American-style Pale Ale. Much like our infamouse award-winning choc beer, it's handcrafted with only the finest ingredients. Starting with a base of American-grown 2-row malted barley we add liberal amounts of caramel and Victory malts to give Basement Batch a rich, almost nutty, malt backbone to complement the unique citrus character Cascade hops, which are the gold standard for this style. Like all of our choc beers, Basment Batch is "bottle conditioned," which means that it's fermented a second time while in the bottle. This long-established method of carbonating beer will leave a thin layer of yeast on the bottom of the bottle. So, pour slowly and carefully to maintain clarity,and enjoy!

Orange color. Light malt and hop aroma. Flavor has fresh bread and malt, and minimal hops. But it does taste good, drinkable enough. I think it is much better than 30th percentile.

Amber color with a smallish beige head. Lightly toasted malt, grass and grapefruit in the aromas. I seem to catch a bit of light chocolate and caramel as well. Seems a bit unclean though. Flavors of earthy malt and hops. Bitter finish and the linger is similar. Seems a touch unrefined.

( 12oz bottle thanks to ballewblake) Pours a hazy orange with oily low bubbles and good lacing. Nose is honey and light hops. Taste is bitter, with no malt to back it up and some soapy residuals. Almost like when you had your mouth washed out with soap as a child. How does a company make money with a beer like this?

Pours a pretty hazy orange with a huge head. Not much aroma, but has some caramel notes, not much for hops. However the flavor is nicely hopped, dry, bitter, and very pleasing.

Bottle thanks to Soonah. Not badfor a pale ale really.Pours a dirty orange, with light aromas of pine, citrus, and some soapy hay and a HUGE fluffy head. Flavor is similar to the nose, with a hint of caramel and honey. Drinks like an IPA. Good feel on the palate, with a light bitter to it in the end.

Bottle sent on from soonah. Really grassy and slightly pine aroma. Big pine astringent flavors up front that fade to a slight citrus flavor and a little bit of caramel sweetness working in the background. Big bit on the front of this one is a little different palate wise for a pale. Also way more hopped up for an american pale, way closer to an IPA but whatever.

Dark orange. Aroma of sweet and dry hops. Taste is similar to the aroma but with a harsher alcoholic taste upfront. Heavy feel from the unfiltered finish.

Bottle from ScottyK. Poured out an absolutely beautiful cloudy golden amber with a white, short-lived head. Aroma had a strong citrus nose with some hops. The flavor followed suit. Fairly thin on the palate. Even though not a pale ale fan, I enjoyed it after a hot fishing trip, very refreshing without the "bite" normally associated with pale ales.
