UPDATED: MAY 14, 2024 From tap. An amber coloured beer with an off-white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, caramel, hops and with a bitter finish.

UPDATED: MAY 6, 2023 12 oz. bottle. I’m curious about the waterfowl on the label, seems random but maybe it’s a species native to Comstock, Michigan for all I know. Copper with thick and pillowy white head. Poured aggressively and noted sediments within. Sour fruit aroma. Citrus and grass. Extremely drinkable. Wood and caramel mixed with biscuit malt and grassy hops. Great taste and aroma. Etched the glass with elaborate lacing. Very quenchable flavor that treads the line between hoppy and sweet. At 5.8% alc/vol it’s not too light or too heavy. Creamy mouthfeel. Finishes on a pleasant tart bitter note. Going deeper into the beer I picked up on some muted brown sugar and light green apple notes. A fundament-ale, if you will…

UPDATED: NOV 30, 2022 Tap @ Hellcat Annie’s Tap Room, New York, NY, USA. Amber colour with a thin white head. Aroma is malt, caramel. Taste is malt, caramel, slightly herbal. Medium body, average carbonation.

UPDATED: AUG 26, 2022 Couleur brun orangé, faible mousse. Bel équilibre, légère amertume, boisée. Manque un peu de profondeur.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2021 On tap at the Plattsburgh Brewing Company in Plattsburgh. Pours clear amber with orange highlights and a tiny white head and lots of clinging lacing. Aroma: brown sugar. Flavor: brown sugar, nuts, raisins, toast, black pepper. Mouthfeel: light- to medium-bodied.

UPDATED: FEB 1, 2021 12oz bottle. Pours, well amber of course with a white head. Caramel notes overshadowing some more subtle citrus. Overall decent but pretty basic amber ale.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2021 12oz bottle gifted by coworker and consumed from a large snifter glass. Color aligns with the names with relatively minimal head. Aroma is caramel, malt, and mild grassy notes. Taste brings in similar characteristics from the nose with caramel and toffee and a good toasty malt element. Nice bitterness rounds it out. All around good beer.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2020 Mostly clear copper with some floaters and an off-white head. Aroma is floral, grassy, and caramel. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter.

UPDATED: NOV 8, 2020 Bottle at Buttonwood golf course. Pours pale to medium amber. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor is mild and malty with subtle hop bitterness. Nice notes of caramel and dried fruit. Medium body. Very slight bitterness on finish.

UPDATED: JUL 18, 2020 What’s not to like about a amber. First taste is very smooth. Even better on tap. Way in the background is a IPA taste. A cloudy amber color. Bells makes good beer and this is one of them.
