Bells Beer

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

had this in a bottle, now called lager of the lakes. and as usual, bell’s comes through. i m not a big lager fan, but these guys just cant do anything wrong.

Bottle. Some light grassy, floral hops in the sweet nose. Saaz, how I’ve missed you! Clear body, on the yellow side of golden, with a soapy, fizzy white head. Refreshing bittersweet taste, thin but not watery body. Light citrus and bready malt. Creamy feel with a lightly floral, lightly grassy aftertaste. Nice lil summer quencher.

bottle - Pours pale gold and clear with a finger’s width head. The aroma is mild hops. The flavor is also mild though well balanced with hops to accent the sweetness. Medium bodied and easy drinking, this is okay for a session brew.

I thought the art of making a pretty decent pislner was lost in this country, but here’s proof that at least one brewer knows what this style is supposed to be like. Clear gold body, with a quickly dissipating head. Some lacing, and that always pleases me. The aroma is very inviting -- both malts and hops, but a bit more of the latter. The flavor follows the aroma, and the aftertaste is slightly on the bitter side (just the way a pilsner should be). The carbonation is good, but I feel it could be a little more aggressive. If you’re looking for a decent pilsner, I definitely recommend trying this one.

Almost a transparent golden color with tiny head. Aroma is very mild. Light malts, grains and a tad of citrus. Flavor is pretty plain. Not bad. Just plain. Light malts, grains, and light bitter hops.

Pours a bright golden color wih a nice head that simmers right down. A nice flavor with some good bitterness. No real aftertaste. A little citrus-like. Very good. I am an idiot for living in Michigan this long and not trying until now. Drink up!

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is of yeast, hay, and a hint of some citrus. Flavor is pretty much the same. More flavor then most pilsener style beers. Lacks a little on the after taste, other then that not bad at all.

Bottle. Golden yellow color and light malty aroma, large pillowy head. Flavor is citrus malt and hay. Very mild bitterness. Well balanced and refreshing. Creamy palate with good carbonation.
