Bells Beer

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

an attractive label and reputable brewery doesn’t keep this pilsener from the world of ordinary. One of the more boring beers offered by Bells.

I drank Bells Beer under the name "Lager of the Lakes". This Pilsener is a light golden color with crisp malty flavor and light aroma. While this was not an especiallyu special beer, I will continue to order this when available.

Bottle. Translucent gold with a small but sturdy white head. Grassy hops, soft lemon, yeast and light grains comprise the aroma. Taste is lemony with grassy hops, grains and soft tea leaf flavors. The malt is not overly bready. Mild buttered biscuit. Body is medium with a moderate carbonation. Bubbly in spots. Dry towards the end. Ends with more grassy hops, lemon, soft yeast and grains. As it winds down there is a flavor of melon. Softer bread notes as well.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with Acknud. A slightly citrusy and grassy aroma, pale yellow in color with a small white head. Better than any standard domestic lager.

12oz. Pours clear golden with a small white head that disappears quickly. Mostly lemon in the nose, body has a similar acidity and relatively strong malt backbone. Lacking the pilsener hop I was expecting. Pretty soft, could use some better carbonation. Still better than most.

Batch 8093. Pours pretty pale golden color, translucent with a foamy white head. Normal Pilsner aroma, beery, bready, not much hops left. Taste is smooth as hell, watery, light with a super quick finish. This is incredibly drinkable and certainly inoffensive but a little too flavorless. Could drink a bunch of these but if I were in the mood I’d go for something like Prima Pils over this. Still not bad just not close to Bell’s other offerings.

gold with white head and some minimal lacing. Hay like aroma with a similar flavor throw in some citrus and bread.

Golden medium white head, great lacing. Decent aroma of grass, hay and biscuit. Flavor much the same. Grass, light citrus, sweet doughy bread and biscuity malt. Soft-creamy mouthfeel. Decent overall.
