Hey, an InBev product! Amber pour, white head. Lightly hoppy nose. Bland taste. Kind of spicey. I remember enjoying a few pints of this when I was in college. I guess I was both pretentious and stupid.

On tap, Fox and Ferret bar CHCH. Amber brown beer with a smallish white head. The nose is of sweet malts and english hops. A solid (for the style) malt taste is the first thing that hits you, followed by a long lasting very english and almost "spicy" hops. Not the thickest beer on the palate but worth a drink.

Sweet and winey on the nose. Sparkling clear orange amber color. Light head and lace. Malty, fruity and dry in the mouth. Long in the mouth too. Not full in the mouth, however. Light finish.

Poured from 12oz bottle into pint glass Smell - Faint malt and hops Appearance - Golden amber in color, nice two finger white head. Minimal lacing Taste - Slightly sweet with a bit of a bite on the finish. Palate - Light but finishes very clean Overall - Bass is one of the beers that proved to me that beer can actually have taste. Even though it seems lighter now than it did a few years ago, this is still a well made mass produced, easy to get just about anywhere beer. It’s easy to drink and doesn’t drain the wallet.

Pours a redish orange, with a fizzy white head. Aroma is of malt, caramel, some mild hops, and lemon. Taste is very bland. Cheap beer malt, weak hops, and some weird lemony notes. Drinks easy, but not worth drinking.

nice dark golden color with some lacing, flavor is mostly light roasted malts with a touch of hop crisp, this is one of my fall backs

Strangely they seemed to serve this everywhere in Las Vegas when I was there - we seldom get this at home, other than by the can in the supermarket. It is kegged in the US rather than draught like in the UK, which may be why I was disappointed with it. Bland, no hop or bitter taste, nothing much there at all - tasted like John Smith’s or Tetleys out of a can or "Smooth" out of a tap. In short, shit.
