Good body to this amber beer. There is a nice malt base to a slightly spicy citrus flavor.

Meh, pretty much what I was expecting. Some maltiness, some caramel-ness even, but nothing really exceptional about it. Basically a higher-end macro....better than a lot of of the common macro stuff, but nothing that I’d go out of my way to get a hold of. But if it’s a choice between Bass and, say, Bud...I’d go Bass.

Clear golden color. Aroma is mainly malts and hops. Flavor is pretty much the same. Has a malty aftertaste. For a mass production beer, this is not too bad.

(drought and bottle many times)
easily drinkable, not bad overall but some flavor that is unique and slightly unpleasant.

Extremely challenging to avoid any bias in favor of this beer. Appearance is crisp golden, perhaps light amber. Generous white head with long duration. Aroma is biscuity & bready. Fresh. Clean. Palate is medium to light bodied with inoffensive malt & hops, nicely balanced, but nothing to get excited about. Just reliable goodness with this ale. Finish is semi short with a mild lingering sweetness.

I’ve always liked this beer. Tastey every time and pretty full of flavor. The bitter taste isn’t overpowering or too intense, but just the right amount for a refreshing day beer.

Medium bodied, small aroma. Nice malt character and easy to drink. Decent brew, maybe not the best price.

12 oz Bottle -- Pours amber with a white head. The color is very bright and translucent. The malts don’t present any complexity, and are fairly one note. The aromas are pretty good though if a bit feint. Spicy, bitter finish, thin body.
