Bath Star
Bath Star is a pale ale of 4.5%, brewed with a share of amber malt and hopped with Cascade. The hops dominate the end of each sip: the finish is big on hop character, dry and bitter. Bath Star is one of the brewery's guest ales and has been in the range since at least early 2003. It is poured on cask and is also bottled: two bottles of it go into the mixed case of twelve that the brewery sells.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bath Star
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.
