Bell’s Smitten Golden Rye Ale

From Bell’s – With wonderfully bitter citrus notes, resinous hop flavors and earthy overtones, this interesting take on the American Pale Ale doesn’t leave a lot of room to wonder if you’ll love it.

Bell’s Brewery – Bell’s Smitten Golden Rye Ale – 12 oz. bottle poured into a mason jar. 6% abv.

Appearance:  Pours a cloudy dull amber gold. Thin white cap that leaves good lacing.

Aroma:  Citrus and sweet grain notes.

Taste: Spicy and citrusy hops out of the gate, apricot, dry spicy malt. Lingering bitterness.

Mouthfeel:  Full bodied, rough peppery carbonation.

Overall: A super tasty, hoppy pale ale, with uniqueness that separates it from the usual spring time drinking offerings.
