Bottle@Home. Strong but not overwhelming floral, fruity and grassy aroma. Golden/amber color, beige firm head, good lace. Pretty sweet, very bitter, fruity, certainly grassy and oak twigs. Full with dry finish. Flavourful yet excellent balance.

From bottle at the Capital Ale House in Richmond, VA. Beer buyer broke it our from her special "vault". Pours a hazy orange-yellow color with strong, positive floral and citrus aromas. Specifying different aromas is not my strong suit, so I’ll just leave it at pleasantly hoppy. Fantastic flavor with the perfect bitterness that completely covers the high alcohol content. This is my favorite brew and January can’t get here soon enough. Already planning a trip back to Bell’s in Kalamazoo!

From bottle. Part of February Dayton Beer Tasting event. Poured dense yellow with huge pine and citrus hops nose. Flavors follow the aromas in addition to apple and honey. No alcoholic aftertaste. Another winner from Bells.

The hops in this one slam into you like a novacaine hurricane and don’t let up until you tap into submission. Beautiful gold pour with a massive citrus and floral aroma that largely features oranges. Some honey in the flavor on top of the aforementioned ingredients. For serious hop lovers only.

It pours a beautiful orange-tinted gold, lightly hazy. The head is creamy, lasts forever, and laces brilliantly. The aroma is strongly of fruit: peaches, orange blossoms, and grapefruit. It is a thick, somewhat sweet nose. Immediately you get a strong floral, slightly fruity hop flavor. I note roses, orange blossoms, and apricots. The bitterness slowly grows to overpower the delicate flavor, and lingers. This beer is ever so slightly cloying, which actually balances the lingering bitterness. However, these long aftertastes do not get in the way of another sip.

Pours orange/amber, off white head. Aroma, floral hops. Taste, super hoppy, floral/pine with lots of alcohol. Leaves a nice fruity and honey presence. Just not a big fan of extreme hoppy beers.

As the name suggests..it’s hoppy. Nice citrusy smell. Pours an orangey golden color with a slightly off-white head. Evergreen too. Really nice bitterness.. doesn’t at all seem like a 10% beer. Really like this. I’m big fan of Bells.
