Bass Ale/English Pale recipe

I'm trying to get a solid recipe for a slightly more flavorful Bass Ale. Pretty new to brewing. I want this to beer to be a beer that's very palatable for everyone. I figured a Bass clone is a fairly good starting point. I like the caramel qualities it has, but also the overall style. Any tips or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys!

P.S. I like my beer bitter, but not fruity. The PA's that have citrus qualities never really jumped out at me.

How about Old Speckled Hen?

I bought some Lyle's Golden Syrup to make something similar, though I changed up the hop schedule a little, as well as my version is slightly different.

Try looking through the recipe database. Likely someone has made something similar enough.

I did a Bass for my first AG recipe too, i used this one fromBYO (there is an extract version too)
I used Mangrove Jacks Burton Union yeast, came out great.
has been a a few years since I had an actual Bass though.

Tasting notes suggest more bittering hops, and lower ferment temp would help reduce fruity flavours.

There is a recipe in the recipe forum section called English Pale Ale. It is an extract recipe and is super easy and very good tasting. Very similar to Bass. I moved to All Grain but brew this one about once a month.

This is my Bass clone that I have fine tuned over the last 2 years and now is my Haus Ale.
8# Maris Otter
1.5# Flaked Corn
8oz Cr60L
10 oz Honey Malt [25 SRM]
2oz. Roasted barley [300 SRM]
1oz Northern Brewer 9.9% @ 60
0.50 Oz cascade 7.1% @ 30
0.50 Oz cascade 7.1% @ 15
Nottingham yeast

That looks nice brewkinger. Think I will add it to my need to brew list.

Brewkinger,

This looks interesting.

I assume this is a five gallon batch?

Also, mash temp and length?

Thank You,
Cody

Actually works out to 5.5 gallon batch with my system.
Mash temp 152 for 60 mins.

I also tend to keep the fermentation Temps down to 57-60 degrees when I use Notty. It can get tricky at times and seem like it stalls, but the neutral characteristics of the yeast really let the grain and hops be the hero.

Thank You,

Cody

Northern Brewer hops. They can be a little minty, very yummy in a stout.
