Philip Pirrip		10 Aug 2022	Basic middle of the road taste brewed to offend no one. It is an institution here and I do like to have it to remind me how it is nothing like the Bass of auld
Philip Pirrip		01 Aug 2022	Definitely first out for a while
Philip Pirrip		01 Aug 2022	2nd one was cooler and fresher, the price paid I suppose for visiting on a quiet Monday evening when 10 pumps on offer
Philip Pirrip		16 Sep 2019	Very malty and very yeasty brew. No hint of the Burton snatch of old. Just a case of badge brew engineering mocking the old brand.

McGargle		07 May 2010	Just missing five stars this time as it was served a little cool. Still an excellent Burton bitter and worth travelling for.
McGargle		31 Oct 2009	Superb. Crystal clear with long lasting white head. Some hints of sulphur on the nose and perfect cellaring brings out the complexity of flavour that is all too often missing. Well balanced fruit, toffee and hops with just enough body. On this form Draught Bass is still a classic.

Some caramel, some hop, some yeast. Always found it hard to pin down Bass. Bit of sweetness, bit of lemon citrus. Or was that the girl’s perfume?
