This is such a great IPA. On my favorites. It’s so beautifully balanced. I love taste. The floral and grapefruit is why I’m falling more and more in love with hops. The last few beers I drank had such a pine/juniper aroma and this one is so different. Gonna be my go to until I fall in love with a different IPA.

This is probably my favorite "go to" IPA. There is nothing else that quite satisfies my citrus craving like Two Hearted. The flavors and aromas imparted by the centennial-only hops in this beer, are unmatched by the majority of IPA’s available, The aroma is very clean and the lemon and grapefruit scents present themselves early and often. Very good mouth-feel and carbonation (velvety and bottle-conditioned), with just enough malt backbone to compliment the hop characteristics without overpowering them. My eternal gratitude, Larry Bell.

Absolutely delicious. Excellent taste and aroma, a lot of citrus (grapefruit and orange are very prominent) and great hop flavor. If you like IPA’s you will love Two Hearted Ale.

I love most all the Bell’s, and this one is near the op of the class. Nice appearance, substantial hops without being over the top, and a very clean "bite" from beginning to end.
