Bronze with medium diminishing head, aroma of malt and alcohol some herb are in there as well, flavor of malt and corn with alcohol notes bitter spicy finish, body is light. Over-rated beer

bottle, pours light amber with a thin off white head. Carmel malt and light cascade nose. Full sweet malt body, finishes dry with a light hop bitterness. Moderate to high carbonation. Tasty.

Leahy’s; split pitcher with Pwn3d: Everything you expect from Bass - consistent amber color, white heads varies on the strength of the pour. Aroma isn’t too complex, malts and sugars. Taste is not too complex either, a watery hop. It’s a staple beer that’s easily drank.

Only thing on tap. Poured reddish with a white head. Aroma of caramel. Some sweet malt. Plain and boring. Watery.

Pours a nice slightly amber orange with thick white head. Aroma strong of malt, slight hops. Ah screw it, this is a pretty decent brew. I am only rating it because I don’t have any other options besides a couple better macros. When options are slim, definitely a go-to brew.

I am getting jaded. I tried this for my first time on tap years ago and it changed my life. Lately, I tried the bottle and something is lost in the translation. Bottle is good but, not earth shattering

Pours amber with a nice lacing of foam. Slight malt aroma with a hint of toffee. Flavors are malty, I am expecting more hops from this style! Its less than what I’d expect, but not bad

A pretty average beer. Nothing really stands out about it, but I suppose it was drinkable. Tasted more like a premium lager.
