An average bottled ale, almost no head, not much flavour, and not very bitter. Pleasant enough to drink, clean taste, probably good for summer.

classic can without nitro bomb, nice hoppy flower aroma, clear, white foam, medium bitterness, medium sweetness, light body, soft carbonation, bitter, good start but i nthe end i nthe finish it seems like a cheaper stuff, more fermentated than usual ...so empty end, average bitter

Can 0,5ltr: Clear amber coloured brew with almost no foamy head. Sweet of taste and the beer drinks smoothly away. The beer with he oldest trademark, go independt again in Burton, please.

500ml can. Pours bright orange with a thin head. Aroma is stewed fruits and malt. Taste is fruity malt, with a dry, bitter finish. Minerally.

UPDATED: NOV 1, 2011 Bass can 440ml 4.4% ABV Pours an amber body with a thinnish white head. Ap3 Ar5 Yeast, malt, nuts, hops, mild citrus, fruity. Ta5 Tangy and bittersweet, some artificial tastes and dustiness. Some harsh alcoholic burn Pa3 Dry, sweetish finish. Ov10 A bit thin given its strength. Weird artificial taste due to it being from a can. There’s no need to settle for this when there’s a lot better out there.

Draft, clearly not cask and filtered at Heathrow T5, V bar. Pours clear and golden orange with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is caramelish and roasted. Smooth carbonation, could be nitro. Bitter and light caramelish roasted. Lingering roasted finish and vague metallic note.

Bottle at the Friendly Floatel, Northwich 31/08/2001 Mid brown very malty some alcohol and a slight hop finish.

Thin, a bit metallic, yet good with food and a nice go-to beer when you find yourself in an establishment that is not so beerticulate.

500 ml can. From Cardiff, Wales. Copper colour with thin white head. Malts, hops and caramel with some spices in aroma. Grainy malt flavour with bitterness and some metallic taste as well.

Can. An amber beer with a off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and a rather bitter finish. The body is thin.

Can. Dark copper in colour, creamyish white head. Slightly herby hop nose with a caramel maltiness. Sweet and fruity flavours and a metallic edge with a decent bitter finish. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. There’s nothing wrong here; it’s a solid British bitter: uncomplicated and to the point, but lacks anything of real interest.
