Good tasting beer overall. While it’s really nothing special, it’s available just about every place you go, so if all else fails, this is a good choice.

Not sure that Bass is all that great, pours a decent amber color, but the flavor is lacking. I was not impressed.

Nice color for a pale ale. A good beer that is common at bars/stores. A good relax with friends beer. Can’t go wrong with and perfect when mixed with Guiness for the classic black and tan

12 oz. bottle. Pours a copper color with a little more brown than true copper. Very nice looking. Off white, small head. Aroma did not make me want to drink it, or not drink it. Light feel, thin, but still somewhat satisfying. Nice bitterness, but a bit too much plastic and metal taste. Overall, a decent session beer that you can buy anywhere.

Great beer!! Goes down smooth and has a slightly nutty flavor. Not much of a head. One of my all time favorites.

Pours a clear, pale copper with a loose, ivory head. The nose is of pale, bready malt with a slightly phenolic note in the background. The mouthfeel is fairly light-bodied and thin with a clean but lightly metallic finish. The flavor is of bready, pale malt, a touch of caramel and a bit of a dry plastic at the quick finish. This is a decent transition beer, easily available just about anywhere and with a better flavor profile than the typical macro lager. In comparison to other examples of this style, however, this is an entirely mediocre brew.
