I did not know what food group this beer with so I went with eggs on my back deck while it was still cool outside. It was a late breakfast. And I must say I wish I had the pineapple beer for this meal! This was pretty good. I really liked the color and head. It was smooth with the taste of hops prominent. Not bad at all and would definitely order this out at a bar.

I like this beer a lot. It has just a hint of fruit, but I could see it as a multi-season beer, not just a summer one. I would purchase this in the 5 liter mini-keg for sure.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else pour this one in a glass? Mine was full of sediment...fish food sized sediment. I drank it anyway, that is a tasty wheat beer. Not sure about all the stuff floating around in my beer, but it tastes good. I'd order it if I saw it at a bar...unless they had a tasty IPA I had not tried yet.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this beer and the one from Saturday night as well. I'm not sure if my enjoyement of these two had anything to do with the my dislike for all the fruit flavored beers we had last week or not, but they were both really strong in taste. I think these two is what summer beers should taste like. both get 9 out of 10.

ReplyDeleteI am a fan of the Bell's beer. I have had this beer before and liked it. It's the only beer on the 24 Beers of Summer that I have previous had. I will say this is not my favorite of the Bell's product line. I prefer their Two Hearted Ale and The Hopslam beers more that this one. I did notice the sediment in the glass, but still think this is a quality beer. I'll rate this an 8 out of 10, B-
ReplyDeleteYes - lots of sediment. Nice taste. A solid summer beer. Check.
ReplyDeletePlaying a little catch-up. Quite like this beer thought I've had it plenty of times before. Anyway a solid, no surprises beer that I could drink any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan. We bought a 6-pack of these while in Michigan this summer and they went down very smoothly. Will buy again!
ReplyDeleteLove Bell's. I agree the Two Hearted is better but I've drank this in many a bar and I will continue to do so.
