Bells Batch 8000 Ale

Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours an orange juice color cut with lemon juice with minimal off white head. It has a big aroma of fruity pears, apples, faint lemon citrus as well as spice like coriander and some yeast. The taste is similar with a crisp fresh fruit and spice combination. The fruit is apples mixed with pears and sprinkled with a light coating of sugar. The coriander spice note is also apparent along with some wheat and mild malt sweetness too. The flavor seems well melded and not too bright.

This is one of the best beers ive had in a while. Pours a golden yellow with a cream head and nice lacing. The aroma of orange and corriander pertrude from the bottle and explode once poured. The taste is as stated orange and corriander hit the toung and the finish is of the seed. Excellent!

12 oz bottle-Pours a cloudy golden color w/a slight head; left some yeast deposits in the bottom of the bottle. Spiced aroma. Wheat beer flavors of banana, yeast, colander, orange peel, pepper, & citrus. Not as sweet as some witbier’s; a little drier & spicier. Full, rich mouthfeel w/ a long, dry finish. Alcohol is well hidden. A little different than most wheats, more of an after dinner type beer.

bottle. golden/copper pour with thin bubbled head. yeast, oange peel, corriander aroma. very well balanced. nice malty backbone. fruity and spice. dry. very nice.

Aroma of banana, clove, citrus, spice. Tastes is pleasant and very well balanced. Nice citrus, spice, some bitterness, but not overwhelming sweet/heavy like a Trippel or Quad. Bitterness fits in well. Finishes pleasant, with nice alcohol presence. Very drinkable, in my opinion very nice and well balancd. Stronger than a white, but very good.

Pours translucent orange with a frothy slightly off white head. Smells of wheat, yeast, oranges and spice. Flavor is herbal, biscuit, grain, slight citrus, flowers, malt and hard candy. Mouthfeel is slightly creamy, slightly thick like a barley wine. Hides the alcohol well, smooth finish.

Pours a very bright, slightly hazy orange color with medium amount of forathy offwhite head. Aroma is a bit of orange and coriander, also a bit of bubblegum. Flavor is spicey and yeasty, earthy undertones, slight hop prescence, and sugared oranges. Overall, enjoyable.

Bottle: Poured metallic orange with a brief fizzle, a thin head, and a swirl of sediment. Fresh herbal aroma, with a tad bit of spicy yeastiness. Tangy and spicy, with an orange zest flourish. Susbstantial mouthfeel, full of body. Quite nice. (#3167, 11/1/2007)
