Bells Two Hearted Ale

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

An orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very freshly hoppy with notes of hop oils - very powerful aroma. The flavor is sweet and quite hoppy, that gives flavors of oranges, flowers as well as hints of grapefruit. Very refreshing yet with a powerful body.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of GoBlue. Fairly light amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Fresh, citrusy aroma with some pine needles. Medium body with some caramel and a distinct, perfumy aroma hoppiness. Solid bitterness in the finish. A nice IPA. 191206

Bottled. Cloudy orange with creamy head. Citrusy nose. Sweet and medium bodied with a relatively hoppy grapefruity finish. The mouthfeel is light and sparkling.

From tap. Pours golden orange with a white head. Aroma is grape fruity. Flavour is grape with a mild malt profile beneath. Finish is dry and bitter. Another grape dominated ipa, not offensive nor really good.
