Mar 24, 2008 On tap @ Bells tasting. Deep orange pour with an off white head. Aroma of citrus, toasted malt, tropical fruits...all very bright. Flavors of crisp spicy hops, toasted malt, citrus, and a bit of pine. Medium/light body bittersweet with a soft carbonation and a bitter finish. They need to remake this one as it was damn good and would be a perfect session brew for spring. Held up really well.

Apr 17, 2004 Is there something in the water in Kalamazoo, or just something in Larry Bell's blood, sweat and other bodily fluids that makes everything these guys make stand apart from everything else?
Cleverness abounds in Bell's country, for their red is not named after any Deborah, but the famous unionist, Eugene V. Debs. A murky red color, spicy nose, quite hoppy. Flavors of plums, raisins, cinnamon. Malt is substantial, but not dominant. Medium body, but thick and full with flavor. Remarkably soft, smooth, and spicy!

Sep 20, 2002 This was wonderful. Much hoppier than I expected, at least in the aroma. The flavor had a nice malty sweetness followed by some crisp bitterness. Well done indeed.

Jan 8, 2003 Deep coppery red, with a slightly juicy hop aroma. Caramelly, wtihout being sweet. Effervescent bubbles tickle the tongue. This is a low alcohol beer of the highest quality.

Dec 22, 2002 This is what Bells Amber wants to be when it grows up. Beautiful red-amber color, nice off white head, good body toward the light side. Moderately malty, pushed almost to the extreme with hops. Nice clean finish. Just like all other Bells beers, the yeast character presents itself. The hops seem to keep that under control. Always decant a Bells beer. Not sure if this is still a seasonal, but I would drink it year ’round.
