UPDATED: APR 17, 2024 Can into glass at Flight Club in the Venetian, Las Vegas. Golden amber beer, some haze. Big head of foam. Nose has some malt, lots of bitter fruit. Easy to drink, slight zing. Bitter at first, then heaps of caramel then a cleansing dryness. Superb beer.

UPDATED: JAN 10, 2024 Sweet and tangy. Finishes a bit bitter but not overly so. Pretty easy to drink.

UPDATED: DEC 21, 2023 [Cantillon, Bruxelles] Aroma: Caramel, malty and, slight cocoa nips Appearance: Clear golden orange with a small everlasting white head Taste: Mildly sweet and moderately bitter, caramel, cocoa nips and slight orange peel Mouthfeel: Mouthfeel is smooth with a watery texture and moderate carbonation Overall: This can was stored in a box on a shelf in Cantillon for over a year before it was opened ;). Oddly enough it has aged really well!

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2023 Pours a hazy, rich orange. Has an aroma of fresh pine tar on a snowy winter day. The taste is of deep grapefruit and toasted malt. Has a smooth mouthfeel that coats the palate with plenty of bubbles, definitely not watery or flat. In a world of mediocre IPAs, this definitely pleases. You could say it is average in the sense that average is the standard to which all others, good or bad, should be judged. Therefore, it definitely represents what I would describe as a handful of beers that can be considered category-defining.

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2023 Finally got around to trying this one. Aroma is a nice mixture of citrus and pine with a hint of pineapple. Taste is grapefruit, pine, and floral, more sweetness than I was expecting. Malt tastes of saltine crackers in the background. Not picking out any other flavors separately, but the flavor and delivery is very smooth. The balance and smoothness makes it very drinkable. I understand why it's a top rated IPA.

UPDATED: SEP 30, 2023 Slightly hazy gold in color with a three-finger head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Taste is also citrus fruit and tropical fruit.

UPDATED: AUG 2, 2023 Tallboy can. Pours a clean gold with a creamy white head. Nose is grapefruit, lychee, and very floral. Sweet up front, with more floral and grain notes; lilac on toast, anyone? Incredibly lovely drying mouthfeel. Nice.

UPDATED: JUL 7, 2023 12 oz. bottle, 7.0% ABV, PKG: 03/30/2023, Shelf Life: 6 months AROMA: I get moderate amounts of grapefruit and pine, with very mild undertones of brown sugar and orange peel. APPEARANCE: Pours a slightly-hazy dark gold, with a very tall, tight-froth, white head that dissipates slowly and has excellent lacing. TASTE: The very first sip (and every one after that), reminds me of Arrogant Bastard Ale, because the flavor profiles are THAT similar. I first get sizeable amounts of bitterness, which is then followed by moderate amounts of pine and grapefruit. The bitterness level fades rapidly during the finish and I am left with mild flavors of orange peel, and then a quick 'blip' of sweetness. MOUTHFEEL: Full-bodied with a mildly smooth texture that has just a touch of 'roughness' on the edges. Carbonation is a little above average. OVERALL: I find this to be a very fine beer that I will happily buy in the future. My only real 'issue' is not with the beer itself, but with the rating here on RateBeer. I fail to see how it is mathematically possible for this beer to get a 100 in Overall Score, when there are so many user reviews that are in the 3.5 range. I also find it suspect that all of the other Bell's beers that I looked at, also show a 100 for Overall Score. In fact, they all show a score of 100 for Style too. Which kind of makes me go, 'Hmmmm'. Scoring suspicions aside, if you don't mind somewhat bitter beers, then you WILL enjoy this one. And I'm not a big bitter-beer fan, so that's saying something.

UPDATED: JUN 26, 2023 Can, Two Hearted IPA. A golden-orange beer, a head is big and blond. Aroma ha wood, pine, light citrus. Taste has wood, citrus, medium bitterness. Medium bodied. Good.

UPDATED: JUN 15, 2023 Pours a golden color with a nice head and lacing throughout. The aroma is slight pine and grapefruit and bready malts. Taste is almost dank piney and grapefruit. Nice carbonation and a slightly bitter taste start to finish. Decent beer with a medium mouthfeel.
