OK, so bell's been around for a long long crafty time, from before the wave of craft beers; should I give points for company longevity? Possibly not, since RB connoisseurs may not take kindly to macro Lion. Well anyway: Never could figger out the desirability of beer styles such as this. The kind that makes a first craft brew tasting for a in-the-rut macro lager drinker simply a definite gag reflex. Any who: Got a can of this for $1. Good for a RB tick, thought I did this one already years ago? Sweet near cloying permeating nose of old gooey hop flowers, starts hitting my nose immediately after top pop. Rather viscous looking. It has a big first taste impression consisting of mouth coating bitter sharp pungent acrid & biting character. Appraising the middle its a disgruntled and discontent grudge-bearing grudgling. On the finish this stuff is virulent, vitriolic, unpleasant and simply disagreeable to the mind's senses & feelings. One great example of a terribly on style nasty nougat double imperial IPA. There.... you have it. Even tho its date code is over 6 month's old, this tick-tock-tick kicks yer ass with certain no quarter.
