So about 10 years ago, I took a road trip to Michigan with my friend Kevin. We were into beer, but not that into it - more into just drinking it. If only I had come across this fine brewery (at the time known as the Kalamazoo Brewing Company). But I did have the fine fortune of picking up a 6 pack somewhere along the road on a recent move from the East to the West Coast. Bell's beers are available throughout the middle states, but unfortunately not on the coasts. I've only had the Two-Hearted Ale, but it blew me away. I recently found out that my friend Dave, who's wife is from Michigan, had this beer at their wedding. He was a brewer for sometime (Boundary Bay, etc) and ran the beautifully stocked BottleShop (R.I.P.) in Bellingham, WA, but enough of my ramblings...
It pours a bright amber with a big foamy head.
It has a nice full aroma with flowery hop and mild citrus.
It has a medium body full of flowery hop. It is noticeably bitter that carries nicely throughout enjoying.
The aftertaste is bitterness that gives way to hop citrus that lingers nicely...
I love this beer, as you can tell by the lengthy introduction. It's well worth finding and once you do, please enjoy one for me....
Cheers!
