Bells Brewery - Two-Hearted Ale Review

Type: American Pale Ale

ABV: 7%

Sight: A dull yellow with an orange hue that is lighter at the bottom. The head is thin and fluffy, but disappears to a white film quickly.

Aroma: Malt and muted citrus make for a pleasant bouquet base, that the light piney earth undertones can creep from within

Taste: The earthiness comes through in the form of a dry, slightly bitter hop front. The malt notes are also there from the beginning.The brew is actually too balanced between the bitterness and the sweetness to show any flavor popping or being pronounced. There is a tad sour note that stays with the tongue nicely.

Overall: It is a good brew. Balanced and flavorful. Mouthfeel is medium with a pleasant light aftertaste of sour citrus is welcomed. Recntly it was ranked #2 by Zymurgy, in regards to IPA's of the year.

Score: 8.5/10
