May 17, 2009 Deep amber colored pour, smooth and complex flavor, excellent grain / hops balance. This is less intense than many of the Bell’s offerings, but is nonetheless superb.

May 12, 2009 Overall Impression:
Old rating, this was a pretty good Amber.
I like Bells beers, and I think I need to try a lot more of them.
**Could use a re-rating on next tasting

May 12, 2009 Not that bad.Not spectacular but it makes for a decent amber given the stigma the macros have given the label. Some caramel in the malt with some hoppy bitterness on top. It is a bit unbalanced between malts and hops though so I get a slight bittersweet after-flavor.

May 4, 2009 Poured into my pint. Served at 45 degrees. The aroma was quite powerful and had a hay aroma with a touch of grass, fruit and flowers. Not my style but not bad. Poured a hazy light red with a huge light tan foamy head that left lots of lacing, flavor started sweet with fruity, peppery,grassy taste that finished with a long harsh bitter that was a bit too much for my taste. Body was medium with thin oily texture, very soft carbonation and as mentioned before a long bitter finish. Not my style of beer but I usually like what Bell’s has to offer. I didn;t hate this beer, but I didn;t care all that much for it and wouldn’t ever buy another. Not bad, just not good either.

Apr 29, 2009 On tap at Otto’s Bar and Grill, Lombard, IL., Bell’s pint glass served. Poured a deep, brownish amber with a light tan, foamy head and thick, foamy, sheet-like lacing. The nose was toasty, malt, and a touch of yeast. The flavor followed the same path adding a hint of caramel, and some complimentary hop bitterness. The mouthfeel was creamy, the body was medium, and the beer as a whole was tasty.

Apr 24, 2009 Pours a golden amber hue with a thin white head. Aroma of malt, brown sugar and some citrus. Bold, slightly sweet flavor includes hints of malts, hops, caramel, some sweetnees and fruits, and honey with a bit of a bitter finish. Very good amber. On a side note, I really like the label on this beer.
