Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear pale orange color with a medium creamy off-white persistent head with lacing. Light malts and earthy hops. Light bodied and smooth with ample carbonation. Dirty aftertaste.

An amber color with a light cream head. Not much carbonation with a light after tase. Not one I will stock in the fridge.

Pours amber with thin white head. Light malt, some grassy hops. Not a whole lot going on. This used to be the best beer on tap in most places, not so much anymore. Nothing exciting, but you could do a lot worse. Depending on the crowd your with, you might look cool drinking this.

Not my cup of tea at all, tastes like dishwater and is very very bland, for me, it is to be avoided at all costs

Bottle, 33 cl. Clear pale amber, small fluffy off-white head. Fruity, a little thin malt aroma, slighly roated, with grassy and earthy hops. Medium bodied, light carbonation. Dry finish with medium bitterness.

Bottle (5%) at Vinmonopolet, Norway. Also cask and keg in Britain. Okay, it’s owned by big bad InBev, but I still think Bass is a very drinkable bitter. Smooth, inoffensive and "commercial" - but still nice!

This is a solid beer. Pours a deep amber color with a thick creamy biege head. The smell is sweet, not a lot of hops on the nose. I love pairing this with a Guinness and drinking a black and tan.
