Bells pale ale


Name: n/a
Style: Pale Ale
Brewer: Bells
Alcohol by Volume: 5.2 %
Price: $2.29 (12 oz bottle)
Rating: A+


I would highly recommend this for someone who enjoys a nice Pale Ale but isn't always crazy about how intense hops can be.  Bell's Brewery, started in 1985 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, hits the sweet spot for me as I am like those I recommend this to.  This is not your conventional Pale Ale as it strays away from the usual hop dominated style one finds in traditional Pale Ales.  It's lightly spiced with floral accents and a clean bitter finish that gives you the essence of hops but doesn't choke you after you swallow.  It's very aromatic and not too thin.  I like that it's not completely transparent which lets me know there's some malt in the mix.  This is a perfect beer for the turning season's warming afternoons.
