1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pours a very light and pale golden color with a thick white head. Aroma is of dusty malts and corn. Flavor is pretty much the same with a slight skunk taste. Leaves a nasty malt finish. Unimpressive.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Yellow/ golden pour. With mild hop aroma. A clean easy drinking beer with hitns of bread and an earhty undertone. For a standard Lager this is tops.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light yellow pour. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is light malt a little sweet smells a bit like fritos corn chips. Not bad for the style but ice cold on a hot day might be best.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Good for a lager, but this is not my favorite type. Pale yellow, clear with plenty of carbonation. Light body, thin texture, bitter finish that lingers.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
G: Poured into a pilsener glass.
A: Pale goldish-straw color with a decent bone-white head. Head has a decent amount of foam bubbles, and there is a lot of carbonation visible through the nearly-transparent brew.
S: Definite malt character. Slightly sweet; not many hops.
T: Good taste. Mostly malt but some hops there. Slightly sweet and a little bit bitter.
M: Decent amount of carbonation with a light mouthfeel. Not much of an alcohol presence.
D: Definitely drinkable, but not the best example of the style--after one, I think I’d probably opt for a different beer.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From a bottle poured a golden color with a fair amount of head. Sweet malty flavor with a quick finish.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle. Batch 9919. Golden color. White rocky head of foam. Aroma of hey, straw, pils malts. Flavor is a sharp bold hop bite. Earthy flavor, straw, and sweet malts. High in flavor, low ABV.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
The curse of the lager! No matter who the brewer is, it is a considerable task to make a decently rated lager. Bells’ lager is smooth and crisp enough, but nothing exceptional. Some complexity reveals as it warms. Decent enough.
