4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
dark orange hazy pour. Slightly sweet malty aroma. Smooth flavor of malt and biscuit. Another strong offering from Bells, this is a great, straightforward to the point type of beer and that’s what it should be.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
12 oz bottle, poured nice cloudy amber color. Nice tan colored head. Not much flovor kind of dull.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a hazy, copper body with a thin, off-white head that dissipates down to a fine ring. Nice malt aroma of plum, raisin, and bread crust. Light citrusy hop presence and a bit of must. Raisin is more dominant in the flavor followed by a pleasant wash of light caramel. Hops have a more pronounced role here and add a nice acidic balance to the sweetness. A little toffee. Medium bodied with light-medium carbonation. Very nice balance between hop bitterness and maltiness. Lightly sweet finish with lingering hop character. Overall a really nice everyday drinker!
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Decent amber ale. Nice malty aromas, light sweetness. Easily drinkable. It’s a little on the thin side.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours hazy amber with suspended yeast. Some lacing, medium carbonation, medium body, and caramel aroma. Taste is toasted caramel malt, some fruit, and some lightly bitter hops.
4.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Great amber ale. Pours a dark murky red with a nice off white head. Aromas include honey and a little bit of cherries. On the palate there is some citrus inspired bitterness, also some sweet honey. Nice finish. Great beer.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle- Pours a nice moderate amber color with a good head and some lacing. Aroma is a mixture of sweet malt and citrus. There is also a trace of fresh grain. A pleasant flavor of caramel with some fruit tart to start. Fresh grain with a nice bitterness and a dry finish. Fairly moderate body. Smooth and refreshing. Very well balanced. A very good Amber Ale, much more than I expected. I will have to add this to my regular inventory.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a hazy amber brown color. Nice tan head, flavor was nothing special, in fact a bit flat and watery. Drinks like a lager, finish is short but good lacing.
Not impressed, was looking for more from Bell’s.
