Commercial Description:
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

Pours dark amber, with small white head. Aroma is moderately malty. Tastes malty with a good hoppy flavor. Too much carbonation in the body. Finish is better than the start.

Pours a hazy Amber color. Good sized white head that doesn’t fully last. Not smelling much of an aroma. Maybe some malts. Starts off sweet and then you pick up some slight hops in the end. Soft carbonation. Very clean and refreshing. I’m becoming a fan of Bell’s

12oz Bottle pours a cloudy ahzy light amber with a long lasting 1 finger frothy white head. Not much going on in the aromas, a little grassy. Flavor is great, Nice malts that are balanced well with the hops at the end. A very good amber.

12 oz bottle with the Big Porch Ale label. Opaque hazy muddy gold with a beige 1 finger head. The foam dies off quickly leaving little lace. Aroma is caramel malt with overripe peach. Flavor is much the same, with a firm caramel maltiness, peachy fruitiness, and an additional hoppy finish that’s a bit piney with medium bitterness. A little bit bland honestly. Medium thin body with lots of carbonation.

Good times with Bells, this was probably my favorite of the ones I had this weekend. Its actually alot more like it’s Kalamazoo cousin than oberon was. Very yeasty and a touch of roasted flavor. Just sweet enough, and i would describe the whole feeling of it as soft. And thats good.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden amber with solid lacing. Sweet hoppy aroma. Taste has a lot of hops, with a smooth finish. Very good.

Pours a dirty amber color with a moderate off-white head with some retention. Aroma is herbal with some grassy hops and fruity notes. Sweet fruity flavors, some bready malt, and hops show towards the finish with mild bitterness. Medium to light bodied. Crisp, refreshing and easy drinking with nice balance but overall there’s not a lot to this.

Bottle. Pours light amber with a small white head. Malty with some citrus hops on the nose. In the flavor, again a sweet maltiness, some citrus hops, and then a crisp bitter finish. A little thin in the mouth, with soft carbonation.
