Bath Pale Ale
Bath Pale Ale is a blonde, bitter-leaning pale ale whose character comes from a large addition of American Amarillo hops. They give the beer a floral scent and an aromatic, floral finish, and it drinks hoppy with a clear bitterness. At 4.2% it matches the strength of Bellringer, the brewery's flagship. Bath Pale Ale is brewed regularly, poured on cask in pubs in and around Bath, and can be ordered from the brewery in boxes of 18 or 36 pints.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bath Pale Ale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
