Bottle. Pours amber with a 3 finger off white head. Aroma is sweet malt. Flavor is that with light hop character and a bitter finish. a bit better then our macros.

Tapped. Two-finger haed is creamy white. Dark orange to brown liquid is a bit hazy. Malty flavor with light but very fresh grassy hops. Medium sweet and very lightly bitter flavor. Medium body with silky soft and smooth palate. Some bitterness in the finish. Quite light but very pleasant and easy to drink. Not very complex but it’s hard if not impossible to get bored with tihis. Perfect after Finnish sauna!

Bottle, Market Street in Allen, TX, sold as single. Poured a clear amber with off-white head, some retention. Aroma of light malt. Flavor of nice malt, slight hop flavor. Mouthfeel is light-medium with medium-high carbonation. Overall, a pretty tasty beer, not bad at all.

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!
