| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 29, 2009 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. italianjohn (401), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 25, 2009 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. ketchepillar (498), Des Moines/Grinnell, Iowa, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 24, 2009 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. wingman333 (250), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 22, 2009 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. JediMindTricks (240), Hampton, Virginia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 19, 2009 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. SSSteve (2107), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
