3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pretty good but not quite up to the other great beers that Bells produces. A little too light in the taste for an ale for my tastes.

Okay, this is a light, clear yellow color. Slight aroma, with a slight tangy taste too it. Lighter then most pales I enjoy. Bell’s as whole in their lighter ales/lagers really haven’t appealed to me so far.

A good sharp hops flavor at the end, but nothing too exciting otherwise in terms of flavor. It does have a nice cloudy yellow color and a thick foam out of the tap, which at least makes it look attractive.

its not as hoppy as some pales but still pretty good

I’d like to try the Third Coast Old Ale. This is not quite as good as the other stuff I’ve had from these guys.

Larry Bell plays fast and loose with the terminology sometimes, and this is such a time. Strictly speaking, this isn’t a beer, it’s an India Pale Ale (or more properly,
an American Pale Ale). I agree with the other reviewers that the hops climb all over the malt in this, but I love that in an PA copy!!
There is a distinct ’orange peel’ flavor in this that I love, too.
Near the bottom of my Top Ten list (it will probably be displaced someday), but still a favorite of mine.

Even though you can tell it is a Bells product, this ale has a very unique flavor that is a very nice change of pace and will keep you coming back.

A better than average APA, a bit bitter. I feel kind of burned on this one as I first bought it at Binny’s in Chicago thinking that it was a beer I would be unable to buy in Ohio. Lo and Behold I saw it today in the local beer shop, including a 6-er chilled in a cooler. Good stuff from Bell’s... Great label on the bottle, I can almost see my house from here!

not much there. yes, hops, but not much there...thin; tasted like something the brewer would make for a baseball park... it just didn’t do much for me at all
