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!

Bottle From Weskbob. Thanks buddy. Pours a murky amber with a good off white head. The head is fizzy and deminishing. Seems to lace alright. Has a mild aroma of hops and touches of malts. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is a touch on the bland side. Not any real choice if its hoppy or malty so it kind of stays blandly in the middle. Has a watery texture. The body is light ot medium. The finish is sourly bitter. Not a bad aftertaste. Not awful but not great.

Cloudy copper, medium head, high lacing. Spicy cinnamon aroma. Bitter, sour, woody, nutty flavor. Acidic, pretty terrible.

Clear amber with a fleeting head. Mild aroma is faint cascade hops and sweet pale malts. Smooth medium body. Flavor is mure more forward than the aroma, with sharp floral hops on a sweet pale malt base. Nice.

12 oz bottle thanks to Soonah. Pours cloudy copper with a big, fluffy beige head. The aroma is smooth, fruity hops, sweet orange, pineapple, some melon and pear, and a graham-cracker like maltiness. The flavor is a mix of hops and yeast, but isn’t as graceful as I would like. Grapefruit, pine, leather, tea, and crackers kind of mix together throughout. It has a good bitterness to it, which gives it a crisp finish. I still think it’s pretty good, but it could definitely use a bit more, erm, harmony.

12oz bottle. Pours clear orangish brown with off-white head. Aroma is earthy with malts, citrus and some hops. Flavor is malty with hops, citrus, caramel and some earthy malts. Medium mouthfeel. Could be a lot better with some more hops. Decent pale ale.

Bottle courtesy of Soonah. My first Oklahoma beer. Pours a cloudy orange with a half finger off white head that leaves spotty lacing. The nose is malt and earthy hops. The taste is malt, earthy hops and mild resin in the finish. Medium creamy mouthfeel. Decent pale. Thanks John!

Appearance: Pours a clearish, amber body with a thin, wispy, white head. Smell: Light earthy, citrusy hop nose with an even lighter sniff of pale malts behind. Taste: Standard pale maltiness with only a very slight sweetness. Earthy, citric hop character with a medium amount of bitterness. Finishes dry, lightly bitter, and a tad watery. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Unfortunately, one of the few Pete’s Place brews free of a noxious infection, but all I really got was a limp, lackluster APA.
