Pretty average Engish bitter, goes down easily but lacks much character or strong flavour. I suppose it’s quite good for something so mass produced.

This is a beer drinkers beer, what more can you ask for, full red color, nice head, allthough it is a little hoppy smelling. I enjoy this beer with a meal, and then even a couple after.

This beer smells of farts and in turn makes me smell the same. its possibly just me but it goes straight through. Nice colour though. Mass produced and smelly.

BeerHawk (1590) - Huntsville, Alabama, USA - JUL 5, 2005
Creamy white head. Goood lacing. Clear body. Medium amber color. Hoppy, Citrus smells. Bitter all around with flavors of citrus. Slight oily texture with a light body. Not what I was expecting from this one.

bluevegie (2853) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - JUN 30, 2005
Disappointing head that hardly lasted at all. Light honey copper coloured body. Slight caramel and nutty aroma. Taste is pretty bland, definitely a bitter, but lacking any sort of power, metallic, watery, not of a lot of body and a fairly short finish.

hughie (3992) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 3, 2005
From a bottle. A brief head soon disappeared. Amber colour, slight aroma of malt. Watery sweetness with a bit of fruit, followed by a lasting bitterness. Bass is one of the most famous names in the world of English beers. This 21st century version is unmemorable.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAY 8, 2005
Canned. Copperish colour, creamy big head. Mild sweet aroma. Caramellish sweet flavour mixed with hoppy bitterness. The bitterness grows in finish. Not much aftertaste.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - APR 8, 2005
Can (BB 08/2005)
Copper brown, thick creamy and brown nitro-kind-of head. Mild flowery aroma, slightly metallic. Creamy, smooth, watery. Sweetish hops and mild mouthfeel. Not much aftertaste. Really nothing special but actually ok session beer.
