Third Coast Beer

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

celebrated Bell’s return to Chicago with this bottle from WLV. Some nice bitterness finishes the bit of sweetness. Seemed a little murky to me but overall it was pretty good.

Figured I’d start off with a Bells I haven’t had before, now that they’re back! Bottle from West Lakeview. Pale goldish color, fizzy head. Nose is a distinct neutral hop character, bitter smelling with a touch of skunk. Taste is nice and light, very refreshing with a clean bitterness and a bigger malt backbone than expected. Actually, quite nice.

Pours a honey color from the tap. Mild bitterness from its hops, but fairly weak in overall flavor.

Pours a nice cloudy dark apricot color with a white head. Light aromas of hops and sweet malt and a touch of honey. Very well balanced flavor with a nice bitter finish. It’s certainly not Bell’s best beer but it’s still pretty good.

bottle. below average white fizzy head into a hazy orange body with particles a floatin. head did not last long. aromas of light to moderate hops and some light malts. flavor is initially moderately bittersweet but finishes bitter. Okay summer brew...actually just what I was looking for this evening.

12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Somehow the clowns at Total Wine charged me $2.99 for a single bottle of this beer. What were they thinking? I’m sure that this beer isn’t worth $3 a bottle, but me being the dumbass that I am, was going to get it because it was the only one in the store. Okay beer, but nothing special.

Looks: Gold fog with thin white head. Aroma: Mild hops,with sweetness. Taste: Strong hops and spice on a light to medium body. Lawnmower IPA.

Bottle, small white head with sparce lacing. Hazy body with small particulates. Light yellow/amber color. Heavy hoppiness with spurce undertones. Mediumed bodied with an average duration. Not my favorite Bell’s beer.
