Commercial Description:
India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma.

Quite possibly my favorite beer for general consumption. Pours nice, nice big creamy head over a orange-gold hazy liquid. Scents of grapefruit, juniper and hops match well with the first sip in which evergreen and hops flavors become more intense without overpowering maltiness. Slight warmness due to alcohol content makes this a great in winter, while crisp flavoring is nice when it’s hot, too. Top notch!

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.
