[WBA Styles Tasting] Clear copper color. Fruity, biscuit malt aroma. Slight licorice in the nose. Very bitter and dry, with a slightly oxidized, mineral flavor. Some residual sweetness towards the end.

On tap at The Crest, Torrance, 02/02/08. VERY clear brassy pour. No bubbles, quickly dissipating head. Sweet corny malt aroma. Sweet malty taste that turns into crisp green apples. Slight bitterness peeks through at end. Light, easy to drink session beer. You can easily do much, much worse.

Finally getting around to rating this. Draught. Pours clear brass color with thin bubbly white head. The aroma is buttered toast with a little bit of herbal hops. the flavor is also light buttered toast with a little bit of fruit and hay hop notes, especially toward the finish. Meh.

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
