Two Hearted Ale

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

Had out of the bottle. Creamy head that sticks around. Quite honestly the best IPA I’ve had yet

Pours a nice copper with an off-white head. Has a floral hop aroma, but it has a great balance of malts, making this IPA taste fantastic. The bitter hops are present throughout the tasting experience, yet the malts smooth it out perfectly. It has a delicious bitter finish that leaves you wanting more. I highly recommend this beer.

This beer pours a dark coppery hazy color with a full off-white head that lingers for quite a while. The aroma is strong for sweet grapefruit and pine with a underlying sweet caramel quality. In the flavor, one finds pine, lemon, dark dried fruits, and sourdough bread. The beer finishes with a bitter tang. The palate is medium-large. Great IPA!

Cloudy copper pour, off cream head. Floral with some malty aromas. Citrus, biscuit, raisin, malt a good mix of flavors going on here, real good for an IPA. Bitter hop finish lingers just enough. Better on draft if you can get it IMO. Another good potent Bell’s offering.

HOPS! Bitter! YAY! definitely one of my faves. super easy to drink which is amazing considering the mix of strong flavors.

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.
