Bells Two Hearted Ale



What's not to like about a beer with a trout on the label?

Continuing my tour of Northern Michigan beers, I bought Bell's Two Hearted Ale. This is a fairly rich, IPA style ale. A nice floral hoppy aroma without being a hop bomb which is so common in IPA's lately. I really liked this as a result. i am all for full hop flavor, but am not a fan of feeling like I have just eaten some shrubbery. Two Hearted Ale is really well balanced and crisp which made it go down quite easily on a hot evening.

So so far, Bell's brewery is two for two.

Oberon Ale


Picture a warm summer day in the far north of Michigan. Surrounded by family, young and old...

Need an anesthetic? Obviously. Well Bell's Brewery's Oberon is the beer for you. A malty lightly hopped ale with enough punch to keep you from noticing the chaos.
