Jun 28, 2009 Nicely done, Bells! Orange color with an off-white head. Great hops on the nose along with some caramel. Good hoppy hit the whole way through, but it reminds me a bit of an amber because of the sweeter malt finish. Overall well rounded and a delightful drinker.

Jun 27, 2009 My favorite IPA, bar none, be it from the bottle, or on tap; orange w/ a generous off-white mousse that leaves some rich lacing; aroma heavy in aroma hops w/ pine needles, grapefruit and sweet on the whole; flavor is hoppy as hell (more so than the Hopslam even, in my view) and adds orange blossom and caramel to the mix; medium-full bodied and slightly sticky, which I peg to the richness; beautiful beer and one of my all-time faves.

Jun 18, 2009 Immediately has a very enticing aroma of citrus and lemon which I couldn’t stop smelling throughout the experience. Upon first taste an immediate sweetness stands out laced with a tangy fruit flavor, possibly of pears and orange. Then a hoppy pine bitterness is introduced and presents a well balanced, dry aftertaste. Overall, very enjoyable.

Jun 18, 2009 Updated: Sep 16, 2009Cloudy orange pour with a frothy white head. Aroma is sweet pine, citrus, and maple. A superb balance of intense hop and sweet malt but leaning towards the sweet side until a resinous finish. Can’t find one thing wrong with this beer and I love the label.

Jun 18, 2009 Bottle: Thanks to Ramenen, the highlight of the Father´s Day dinner sample series! The only thing I can critique is the label, you wouldn´t know you´re drinking a 100% IPA by looking at it! Full, potent, well balanced overall great.

Jun 18, 2009 Drank it last nite for father’s day. My first Bell’s and I was truly impressed. First of all, the aroma is just so full of layers, wow. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, multiple layer of citrus, well balanced with the sweetness of the malts, and a quick dry finish.

Jun 17, 2009 Bottle. Amazing beer and my top IPA thus far. Pours an amber colour with decent white head. Great citrus and spicy hops. Is very well balanced beer with a nice long bitter finish that is quite enjoyable.
