Bell's Midwestern Pale Ale, Brewed and Bottled by Bell's Brewery, Comstock, MI. Alc. 5.2% by Vol.
Clouded golden hue, snowy white head, settles to a slim collar.
Aroma: Large citric notes, some spice, plenty of yeast. Hops and yeast, that's what we've got.
Taste: Full-bodied, full of yeast-y goodness, with plenty of vibrant, citric hop notes bouncing on the palate. Much maltier than the average pale ale, and as it's unfiltered, so much more yeast-ier. I have to wonder, though, if this is different that the other Bell's Pale Ale? Is that retired, and this is it's replacement? Good questions. I'm searching for answers.
Without those, I'm still enjoying it for what it is. Hey, there's gobbledygook on the label, and as it's Bell's, it's probably terse, mysterious, perhaps poetic? Here it comes: "A blond ale reminiscent of the golden fields at harvest--made with Michigan-grown barley and a delicious blend of pale malts with a distinctive spicy, floral aroma and taste. We invite you to reap what we've sown."
