This is a decent beer but definitely not one of my favorites. Does not finish very smooth and the taste is a bit off for my liking.

Beer is one of my favorites especially on tap, but im rating this one on a 12.oz bottle. Beer has a beautiful amber clear color. An off white head, Taste has a smooth caramal flavor. Great Aftertaste, Great beer must try!

Deep orange with a white head. Aroma was sweet floral notes, bread, and malt. Flavor was crisp malt with some bread and floral hop notes. Good malty mouth feel with a slightly bitter finish.

568 ml bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear amber color with a large frothy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, floral hops and a faint nuttiness. Taste is green apple, caramel, floral and leafy hop notes. Medium bodied.

Seen Bass for years, but tried it for the first time this weekend. Mildly disappointed. Light floral hops aroma, but nothing special. Deep amber / copper color. Thin off-white head, clears quickly. Mild ale flavor. Having a hard time being more descriptive. I think I was expecting more flavor. This is what Anheuser-Busch would call an ale. And that’s not a good thing. Not terrible, but left me wanting.

On tap at the bar. Copper color, no carbonation. Aroma of biscuit malt and some fruit. Light crisp body. Flavor of biscuit malt and sweet fruit. Tastes like Heineken of ales to me.

Got a sixer for a under 5 at CVS.. Not a bass drinker but the deal was so good I had to buy.. Pours a light amber with a cloudy head.. Initial hit to the palate is light for a pale ale... good floral hops but nothing over powering.. No lingering aftertaste but also nothing memorable. Not a bad ale to drink at this price but an average english ale at best..

12 oz. bottle. Pours a light brown with a bit of amber and a thin white head. Aroma is grassy hops with a bit of malt, but a bit light on the nose. Slightly bitter taste, once again consisting of malt and grassy hops. Flavor also a bit thin, but crisp and easy to drink. While I like having the occasional Bass, it is not one of my beers. Not even one of my favorite English beers.
