lucke13 (90), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Feb 22, 2008 Tap. Translucent redish-brown with minimal head. Smells of malt with a hint of spice. Tasted watered down...I think this ruined it for me. BrewDad (2363), Olympia, Washington, USA Feb 20, 2008 Pint - Pint’s & Quarts - Olympia, WA

kidmartinek (972), austin, Texas, USA Feb 19, 2008 Pours dark translucent amber with a lot of red tint.. Small dirty head. Heavy caramel and sugar aroma. A little burnt hickory in there too. Mildly thin consistency. Woody flavor of hickory, sugar and malt. A bit of cheap grain coming through on the finish. If you like this sh*t, then you like New Castle. Really a blood-red beer, pale ale my ass. TheCaptain (526), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 19, 2008 Had this on tap and most recently in bottle. I think I had this before the switch back to Ireland because it was kind of empty. Ok carbonation but a little acrid on the pallet. Hop bitter and odd after taste. Need to give this a try again on tap but for me overall, weak. moseslikesbeer (183), conestoga, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 18, 2008 Updated: Jan 17, 2009tap. aroma is a malt/citrus mix. appearance is an amber orange. small brown head, no carbonation and some lacing.tasted like oranges and malts. loved this because the orange was on the small side. this is the smoothest beer I have had. tastes great and I would be able to drink tons of these. tangy and kind of bubbly. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Feb 17, 2008 From bottle in a pint glass. Bass is the beer I order when I’m at a place that doesn’t have any good beer. Pours copper. Taste is realtively mild, mostly sweet malt. Not much hop character, Very smooth and drinkable. Not a bad beer, but defintely suffers from comparison to the huge beers I’ve been having lately. BrewmeisterEd (59), USA Feb 17, 2008 This used to be the only alternative import to Heineken you could get in restaurants before craft/import took off. Poured a little cloudy and with a finer head (think nitrogen, though I know that’s not the case) that dissipated quickly. A bit more carbonated than a lot of IPAs and a bit of an astringent after taste. But it has a full mouth feel despite a hint of sourness that, while interesting, doesn’t contribute to what I feel the style. If Heineken was the only other import at the restaurant, I’d definitely go with the Bass,,, joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Feb 15, 2008 don’t get it, coppery appeaance with no head. flavor at best is subtle but ends up being of slight malt and slight hop. finishes dry and bitter. not feeling it
