Bells Beer

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

As a person familiar with American swill, the aroma and flavor of this beer was pure heaven. It is everything I’m looking for in a Pilsner.

12 oz bottle "Lager of the Lakes" label. Pours to a beautiful, bright, golden color, with a tall, white head that fades, and a good bit of carbonation. The nose on this beer is nice, with some good herbal and grassy hops, paired with some grainy, pale malt aromas. The palate is firm, with good pale and grainy malt flavor, on a very clean, round body. This beer finishes with more good crisp, pale and grainy malt flavor up front, then ends with some good herbal/grassy hop bitterness that balances. Very well done example of pilsner, that is very flavorful, yet dangerously drinkable. It could have used a touch more hop aromatics, but I found this beer to be very authentic, and impressive. Very food friendly, and a good session beer, you could pound this one by the liter.

Great citrus aroma and flavor, with plenty of hop to keep it from being too sweet. This sort of reminds me of a scaled-back Cisco Summer of Lager. Nice beer! Thanks to PsychProf for this one!

Fantastic lager. Nothing special or fancy. Just a good ole fashioned beer with no fancy gimicks. Ingredients are uniquely balanced to produce a lager which blows away the mass-producing breweries.

Lightly cloudy, smallish head. Intensive aroma of garden after rain, fresh good malt and green hops. Same goes to flavour. Rich hopy that blends so nicely with malty backbone. Specific signature taste this beer have. Great pils unusually made but that did not hurt it helped in this case.

Bottle at Jerry’s / Straw with good, creamy white head / Nose of grain, honey, and dry hop / Light to medium body, some creaminess, with good, bitter finish / Flavors of grain, toast, lemon, and honey / A fine pilsener.

Pours golden with a fully receding white head. Aroma of bready lager yeast, firm maltiness, a bit of mustiness. Taste has a firm malty backbone with a fragrant balance of Saaz. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly resinous hoppiness. Well made lager, quite delicious.

On tap at Bell's with great company! A raw flavorful, full-bodied lager, positive dripping with pale malt and incredibly tingly with high hop levels. Delciious.
