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 courtesy of soonah. Pours amber and cloudy with a nice diminishing white head and a good lacing. Smells of citrus, roses, pronounced caramel, hints of flowers, some candied fruit and slightly resiny. Tastes initially bitter with nice sweet citrus, hay, pepper, some hints of spice. Finishes earthy with a touch of bitternedd. Mouthfeel is tingly with some hints of candied ginger. Lots of subtle complexity in this one.

Short, 12oz twist-off bottle. Beautiful pour. Deep copper color, white head. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, sweet honey, citrus hop, hints of chocolate. Nice malt. Flavor has a bold malt, sharp bitterness, great balance. I wish we had more of this beer locally. It is good. Finishes with some chocolate and nice hop bitterness.

I was quite impressed with this pale ale. Aroma is nicely balanced between notes of citrus and caramel malts. Flavor is citrus initially, with a nice nutty, biscuit backbone. Finish is smooth and dry, with mild bitterness. For the flavor, abv and price, you can’t get a better deal than 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.

Pours amber with large tan well lacing head. Nose is herbal hops and clean earth, pine, faint sweet malt. The flavor is initially balanced towards sweet, caramel malt, seguing into floral and herbal hops that end in a nice bitterness. Very suprising excellent offering from Pete’s Place

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.

Pours a translucent copper orange with a one finger foamy head. Nice looking. The nose shows a nice hop presence, fresh earthy herbal hops, a little bit of pine, some background sweetness. The flavor shows more of the malt, has an English feel, bready, some hop bitterness, piney and waxy, some problems in the flavor. palate has a nice bitterness but has more of a waxy character than I would like.

Light orange yellow, eggshell colored creamy head. Aroma is light citrusy aroma, light crystal malt bite, some herbal hops. Taste is mostly the same, thin body with some crystal bite, spicy hops and citrus oranges and grapefruit.
