Feb 9, 2010 Had a 5L keg of this with some firends at home, what a great IPA!
Well balanced with wonderful flavors of citrus hops and caramel malts.
Plenty of character with an off white head that had some good retention and left some broken lacing.
Smooth and creamy was an unexpected expieience from this IPA, as well as the blended finish that relied as much on the malt character as it did the bittering hops.
A great IPA, even for someone who calls himself a malt lover.

Feb 8, 2010 Nice aroma of bread, caramel, fruit, peach, citrus. The appearance is slightly hazy yellow, tinge of orange, white head. The flavor is bread dough, caramel, flowers. The finish is a nice floral hop bittering. the mouthfeel is slightly sticky, the body is medium to thick, noticeable carbonation. Very nice IIPA, but a little more malty than hoppy.

Feb 8, 2010 Bottle. Outstanding IPA. Rich, dark-amber pour with a firm, off-white head. Aroma of pine and floral hops. Flavor has huge bitterness and yet still strikes the drinker as well-balanced, what with the hearty doses of malts. Mildly resiny mouthfeel and a crisp, sticky, lip-smacking finish.

Feb 7, 2010 On tap at the eccentric cafe. Nose is sweet citrus. Pours a golden orange with a fragrant white pale to white head. Has some bright citrus and sweetness, but the bitterness comes across almost earthy. A little different from your average IPA.

Feb 6, 2010 HOPPY! Burns the nostrils in a good way. Generous use of bittering and finishing (and dry-hopping) hops gives this ale a HUGE nose. Pours coppery-clear with large tan head and good retention. Lots of lacing. Medium light and caramel malt goodness, but tilts decidedly toward the bitter end of the scale. Lingering piney hops bitterness and just a tiny bit of heat. Did I mention hops? For beer drinkers who want to know they’re drinking beer. A great IPA.

Feb 6, 2010 Bottle. Impressive grapefruit and floral taste, much too easy to drink beer... Very good indeed but a little over-rated as I had better IPA’s: not a Corne du Diable, not a Postcolonial, not even a Titan...

Feb 5, 2010 Pours a clear golden with white head. Very resin hops taste, sweet, malty, citrus, fruity, very rich. Similar taste, everything balanced. Another fantastic offering from Bells.
