3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured into my pint. Served at 45 degrees. The aroma was quite powerful and had a hay aroma with a touch of grass, fruit and flowers. Not my style but not bad. Poured a hazy light red with a huge light tan foamy head that left lots of lacing, flavor started sweet with fruity, peppery,grassy taste that finished with a long harsh bitter that was a bit too much for my taste. Body was medium with thin oily texture, very soft carbonation and as mentioned before a long bitter finish. Not my style of beer but I usually like what Bell’s has to offer. I didn;t hate this beer, but I didn;t care all that much for it and wouldn’t ever buy another. Not bad, just not good either.

On tap at Otto’s Bar and Grill, Lombard, IL., Bell’s pint glass served. Poured a deep, brownish amber with a light tan, foamy head and thick, foamy, sheet-like lacing. The nose was toasty, malt, and a touch of yeast. The flavor followed the same path adding a hint of caramel, and some complimentary hop bitterness. The mouthfeel was creamy, the body was medium, and the beer as a whole was tasty.

Pours a golden amber hue with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, brown sugar and some citrus. Bold, slightly sweet flavor includes hints of malts, hops, caramel, some sweetnees and fruits, and honey with a bit of a bitter finish. Very good amber. On a side note, I really like the label on this beer.

Smooth as a baby’s bottom. A perfect amber color with a very refreshing finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Less than an inch of head on a golden amber pour. Strong bread characteristics with this one. I had had quite a bit by this point though so may have to re-rate later. Malts, a small hint of hops on the nose. For being an amber this laces the glass really well. I would recommend this amber.
