Bells Two Hearted Ale

This is a review on Bells Two Hearted Ale
from Kalamazoo, Michigan
Style: Indian Pale Ale

Commercial Description:
India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma.

Appearance: It pours a hazy burnt orange color with a huge white head. Some very sticky looking lacing as I drink this one.Looked very good! 4.5/5

Aroma: The aroma really blew me away at first. Loads of citrus hop aroma, sweet tropical fruits, and not much malt--very nice. But it lost alot of its aroma after a few sips. 4.2/5

Mouth feel: The beer is medium bodied and has moderate carbonation.4/5


Flavor: The taste was similar to the aroma. A great grapefruit and orange flavor, along with sweet pineapple. The finish is nice and piney, giving a bitterness to balance out the fruit. It is not harsh or bitter, very smooth But it did lose a little flavor after while. 3.9/5

Overall: I can see why people go nuts over this beer. Such a solid IPA, much more similar to the California IPAs than most other Midwest and East Coast offerings. A very smooth and well balanced IPA. 8.5/10

Overall score 25.1/30 Excellent. I would definitely buy again, I could drink this beer anytime of the year and have more then a few at a sitting without getting to sick of it.
