From a pint on draft at the Chili’s in Phoenix Sky Harbor. Aroma is a little caramel, biscuit, and hops, all very subtle. Appearance is a clear amber with a small white head that dissapates. Flavor is like the aroma, a little caramel sweetness, some hop bitterness, and a little bready, toast, biscuit in the malt. Easy drinking and full of flavor if you let it warm up.

Not the most exciting beer in the world, but an old favorite. One of the first beers I got into that didn’t come in a 40oz bottle or taste like urine. I drink this when I’m not feeling adventurous.

Not terribly exciting but drinkable with light hop bitterness in the finish. Light wth simple flavor, but enjoyable enough

A classic beer. Very smooth, very light and easy to drink. dark golden brown colour with a large white head. Aroma is nutty, soft hops and pine. Taste is relatively easy to drink, well carbonated with a creamy, floral finish.

Been drinking it for 28 years since i was old enough to get into bars with a fake ID. Not the best beer in the world, but like Mac & Cheese or a plate of spagetti, this is the beer equivalent of comfort food for me. Long live Bass Ale!

My favorite pale. There’s a lot to this beer despite being of the lighter variety. Nice bitterness in the beginning, but surprisingly smooth, if a bit fizzy. Very good with food.

12oz bottle pours a mixed brown goldish color, a kind of bitter beginning yet not impressed by this brew

One of my favorite paler beers... smooth and easy to drink. Good with a meal. Pours a darkish golden color with a white head. Aroma is pretty light and flavor is a little malty but a little bitter at the same time. 12 oz. bottle.
