Commercial Description:
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

Tap at MSP airport. Pale amber beer with a nice tight white head. Aroma is lightly hoppy with a nice fresh crackery/caramelly maltiness. Pretty nice chewy sweetness. There is a light noble sweetness on the back. Quite vienna-ish, despite it being an ale. Good balance of spicy hops and sweet malts.

Comes out of the tap a hazy dark honey-amber with a thin but fine-bubbled off-white head. Appetizing malty aroma has fruity and hoppy hints. Thick, malty flavor has a hoppy undertone and a touch of banana. Texture is thick, smooth and fizzy. Definitely worth seeking.

Hay & dirt. Tastes like some adjuncts. Surprisingly tastes like poor ingredients-I don’t that is the case though as this is Bells. Some malty sweetness. Slightly nutty. Kinda fruity. Dries out a little bit. Pretty average. Slight alcoholic kick in the finish.

A little more robust than the average amber. Malty of course, but then leaves some yeast and fruity sweetness lingering after. Rich, good, but not my favorite style.

Cloudy orange amber pour with a healthy off white head. Fruity aroma with nice floral hop touch...it is what it is...

Greens now has Bells. Picked up at the Ponce De Leon location. Nice caramel brown with a silght orange hue. Decent head sits on top. The head almost completely fades away, but there is some left to give it a good look. Translucent. Great balance between the subtle hops, and malt sweetness. Actually a very nice fruity aroma. Pretty ncie aroma I must say. Very fruity/malt taste. Has a decent bittering hop at the end and flows into an almost a weird malt taste. Palate is smooth, but not exceptional. Overall, decent brew. I wish Greens, or our distributors would have purchased Hopslam, or Two Hearted instead. This is a good amber, but for Bells it is not their best.

murky orange/amber under a large creamy beige head. peachy, fruity, hop aroma. soft hoppy flavors without the citric bite. maybe some melon or mango flavors with plenty of malt. well balanced. creamy smooth palate.
