On tap at a wedding Yankee Peddlar. Dark amber with a medium head. Mild coffee taste. Not a bad beer. Would drink it again.

Tap. Translucent redish-brown with minimal head. Smells of malt with a hint of spice. Tasted watered down...I think this ruined it for me.

Pours dark translucent amber with a lot of red tint.. Small dirty head. Heavy caramel and sugar aroma. A little burnt hickory in there too. Mildly thin consistency. Woody flavor of hickory, sugar and malt. A bit of cheap grain coming through on the finish. If you like this sh*t, then you like New Castle. Really a blood-red beer, pale ale my ass.

Had this on tap and most recently in bottle. I think I had this before the switch back to Ireland because it was kind of empty. Ok carbonation but a little acrid on the pallet. Hop bitter and odd after taste. Need to give this a try again on tap but for me overall, weak.

tap. aroma is a malt/citrus mix. appearance is an amber orange. small brown head, no carbonation and some lacing.tasted like oranges and malts. loved this because the orange was on the small side. this is the smoothest beer I have had. tastes great and I would be able to drink tons of these. tangy and kind of bubbly.

From bottle in a pint glass. Bass is the beer I order when I’m at a place that doesn’t have any good beer. Pours copper. Taste is realtively mild, mostly sweet malt. Not much hop character, Very smooth and drinkable. Not a bad beer, but defintely suffers from comparison to the huge beers I’ve been having lately.
