Two Hearted Ale

Pours a beautiful orange/golden color with big fluffy dense head with a big floral hop aroma. I’m waiting for a big hop bite based on the aroma from this IPA which it delivers but extremely smoothly. The hop bitterness is there but then it slips away to leave a very nice hop flavor that is so well balanced with the malt that I forget this is an pretty potent IPA. This is one of the best American beers I’ve had in a very long time, not over the top but super flavorful and well crafted. Cheers to Bell’s.

This fish clad bottle is a giant. If the beer was a fish, it would be the one that always gets away, the one you fantasize over and once you finally get it, you then give up fishing altogether. I can’t say it is the most even taste. I can’t even say that it is consistent even in one glass. This, however, is the beauty of it. On tap isn’t that much better than in the bottle in comparison to other beers. It fights with your mouth all the way down, but in a fun way like the punch in the arm from the girl you like, and it hurts for real, but you enjoy it too much to ask her to stop.

believe the hype people; this is not a joke. maybe my mouth is in perfect conditions to enjoy this, but the fall off of flavor after each sip is liable to break the speed of light. this is the cleanest, crispest beer ive ever drank. typically those adjectives are used in reference to ’mellow’ pilsners and their ilk. well frankly, id rather drink a 7% beer that reeks of hops and tastes wonderous then those dirty old beers. my point is that this is so well executed that it is suitable for many versatile situations: hot summers day.....or a cold winters morn. this is not just for ’hop heads’, this is what drinking beer is all about. a few sips of this put me truly at peace with the world, to think that something as simple and overdone as a regular IPA can still be pulled off at nearly a perfect 10.

A floral, citrusy extravaganza. The malt is there, but the hops shine through. Very drinkable, very crisp and very dry. A winner!

pure and simple, no debate or discussion or long drawn out review from me needed: this is the most beautiful, most perfect, most divinely inspired ale ever made. were you to tell me i had one hour to live, and i could only drink one beer in that hour, i ask for a bucket full of bell’s two hearted ale. this is the brow sweat of the Almighty in a glass.

12 oz. bottle poured a light brown with a small white head. Has a good hoppy aroma and taste. Would drink this beer again and again.

hazy orange/gold under a small white head. sweet hoppy aroma with peach and strawberry. bitter lemony, peach, strawberry hop flavors. not really that malty and the result is an unbalanced soapy astringency.

12 oz. bottle: Pours an amber orange with a one finger off-white head that is mostly lasting while leaving nice lacing. Hoppy aroma has a very good citrusy aroma with hints of pine. Flavor is intially sweet finishinig with a grapefruit bitterness that is very refreshing. Well balance and smooth.
