Bass Pale Ale
The 3.4% Bass Pale Ale sold in UK supermarket bottles shows hints of red fruit and caramel, balanced by bitterness. Its red triangle was Britain's first registered trademark, and the brand goes back to 1777, when William Bass began brewing in Burton-upon-Trent.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bass 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.
