Description
Our journey began with a 15-gallon soup kettle, a quest for better beer and countless batches of homebrew. The passion and personality that began Bell’s continues today through our breweries and Eccentric Café. We continue to grow and evolve, dedicated to our mission; to be fiercely independent, 100% family owned, deeply rooted to our community, committed to the environment and brewers of inspired beer.

Draft at Orange & Brew. Clean but slightly hazy gold with a blush of pink. Foam head that leaves nice lace behind. Smell is just a light, agreeable whiff of raspberry. Taste is the also agreeable combo of a lightly malted beer, light wheat, and then a raspberry background.

f: strong coriander seed | noticeable full oranges | bready end
t: refreshing | curacao | some pit fruits at finish
o: enjoyable for Summer Season | enough of a departure from [normal] Oberon | fruity but stronger and more flavourful [than the 'original']

Bottle. Pours near black with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice combination of raspberry and dark grains with some chocolate and bourbon note supporting. Flavor has dark grains and chocolate with growing roast, bourbon and some raspberry in the finish.

Clear orange-bronze pour with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops, tropical fruit and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of grapefruity hops, honeyed tropical fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Not as good as the original but pretty enjoyable overall.

Bottle at home. Had the beer before but I guess not this batch. Guess it's quite good like I remember it. I can't really be bothered by rating this formally as it's just another batch. I like it.

Golden yellow with large white head and moderate effervescence. Orange, pineapple, biscuit malt, and grapefruit peel aroma. Moderately sweet tropical fruit, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Nice body and balance.

Pint can. Passion fruit aroma with notes of pineapple, mango, grapefruit, tangerine and floral hops. Pours clear golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with passion fruit, mango and tangerine hop flavors. Finishes smooth but a touch dry with pineapple, grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Pretty good.
