Bells Amber Ale

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

I didn’t expect to be blown away by this beer but I was sorely wrong. It has an amazing aroma of fruit and honey. The flavor is malty with tones of fruit. Has a beautiful color of reddish brown. One great amber.

12 oz bottle pours dark orange-brown with decent cream head. Aroma of pine, vanilla. Taste has a mild sweetness, then a touch of bitterness on the finish. Well balanced very drinkable light Amber.

12oz bottle 10/2/09 (Sam’s Wine & Spirits)-Pours a hazy orangish dark amber with a small off white head. Aroma of hops, malt, caramel, and sweetness(honey). Taste of hops, honey, citrus, and caramel. This medium tasted brew is very well balanced and quite tasty.

Bottle 12oz. Pours just like the name. Amber in color with a weak white head. Aroma is honey, fruit, malt some caramel. Flavor was Caramel, roasted malt, and a bit of berries. ok beer have had better beers of this style. so so.

Bottle; thin white head atop a bright amber body with some sediment. Aroma is of sweet honey, berries, toasted lager malts, bready, and slight fig and prune. Flavor has mellow caramel throughout, some toasty malts, slightly fruity, bready, and mildly citric. Palate is comforting as well with a smooth light carbonation and buttery finish.

On tap at a local restaurant. Pours amber with a medium off-white head. Medium aroma of caramel and biscuit. Flavor is sweet caramel, honey, and biscuit with a touch of raisin and hops. A little too much sweetness. Not bad overall.

Quite drinkable, although milder than I was thinking it would be when I picked it up at the store. Quite enjoyable.

Pours a cloudy copper color with amber hues when held to a light source and a one finger foamy white head that settles quickly into a lasting ring. Very little in the way of lacing. Bland aroma with a balance of caramel malt and floral hops. Not much else to speak of. Very hop forward with a nice caramel malt backbone and slight crisp fruit. The hops dominate this beer and linger all the way through over the malt backbone and subtle light fruit notes in to a bitter dry finish.
