Bells Two Hearted Ale

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

Pours rich golden amber with a nice 3 finger head and beautiful lacing. On the nose: bright hops: citrus, tangerine, grapefruit, lemon zest even a hint of pine. Theres also some rich maltiness hiding there as well. Wonderfully vibrant on the palate and quite full bodied. Very complex flavor profile: instantly struck by the hops but some rich, sweet toffee/caramel-like malt flavors are hiding behind the hop attack. Excellent all around beer. Some are hoppier, some are maltier and some are more complex, but Two Hearted is very, very well balanced and quite drinkable. Close to perfection and insanely drinkable.

This Ale from western Michigan is currently my favorite beer. It has a brilliantly sharp floral flavor that is simple but perfect. It’s fruity but dry and although I love it, I’d never describe it as "well balanced."

This beer is incredible. Different from IPA’s with biting hop bitterness as it has a citrusy and fruity flavor that blends very well with the hops. Balance is the key for this one.

Great IPA. Draft pour from Dicky’s Wild Hare in Fort Wayne, IN. A nice clear orange-copper color with a single finger white head. The lacing on this was remarkable as the entire opposite side of the glass was coated. Consisted of orange and floral hop scents. Very smooth brew, starts out tame with a killer orange slice taste which finishes in to a strong hop bite with some grapefruit in the aftertaste. Another fine Bell’s brew.

Poured into pint glass, a very nice slighlty cloudy orange hue. Smallish head; very sticky lacing. Very pleasant aroma of citrus hops. You could almost just smell this beer. Excellent balance of citrus and hops flavor. Just bitter enough, but not enough to pucker your mouth. Predominantly orange flavors with some grapefruit in the mix. Finish is dry and clean. Exceptional drinkability. My favorite 60 minute IPA so far.

Fantastic head, mindblowing aroma, and an absolutely fantastic body. The hop and malt balance is perfect for this IPA. I daresay, one of the best IPAs i’ve ever had the chance to taste.

Cask-conditioned tap. Hazy golden color, smooth and creamy~yet hoppy.took awhile to settle,head stayed almost throughout pint.yum.yum had another:)

I like this brew. It has a very nice hoppy taste without being overly bitter. It has a great all round finish. Competes well with Dog Fish Head 90 minute IPA. Well worth the price.
