This was a gateway beer. The bold flavor of Bass doesn’t seem as bold as it did when I was 21, but I will always think of these beer with fond memories. It definitely got me started. I still think it has one of the nicest colors of any beer.

Bottle. Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is earthy, and yeast. Flavor malty and some bitter hops. Good aftertaste. Decent beer

12 oz bottle. Pours copper orange with a small off white head. Smells grainy and metalic. Tastes like bread, mildly fruity, sour and bitter. Has a very typical brittish beer flavor, like tea and kinda nutty, also creamy. Pretty nice beer.

12oz. Never rated because I usually only drink it when getting drunk. Of course: pours pale orange, fluffy head. Light on taste, easy to drink. Perfect for mixing black and tans.

Many on draft. Many from bottle. I don’t drink these all that often nowadays but gotta give it some love. This was one of the good ones back in the days when good beer was scarce. When I used to home brew I would use Bass as a reference point. This one is a classic.
