Bell’s Two Hearted Ale

BEER REVIEW: Bell’s Two Hearted Ale by Bell’s Brewery Inc

I enjoyed a nice pint of Bell’s Two Hearted Ale at the great The Local Optionbar in the Lincoln Park. The friendly Bar Tender, Noah, recommended it as the best beer they currently have on Tap. With the blessing of the bartender, I ordered the pint.

Bell’s Two Hearted Ale is a wonderful IPA. The more I drank it, the smoother it got. Two Hearted Ale has the standard characteristics of an IPA: citrus aroma and nice hops. Overall, this ale is a refreshing beer that can be enjoyed anytime of the year and for any occasion. Bell’s Brewery Inc is one of the greater Breweries in the United States, and it is a joy to savor any one of their fine brews. Two Hearted Ale is definitely one of my favorites.

Thanks for the recommendations Noah!

Three Floyds Broodoo

BEER REVIEW: Three Floyds Broodoo by Three Floyds Brewing Company

Broodoo is a Seasonal Fall brew by the Three Floyds Brewing Company. It is categorized as an IPA, but it is not as hoppy as other IPA’s. That is okay though since most Fall Seasonal IPA’s tend to be not as hoppy. Broodoo does carry with it all the citrus aroma one would associate with an IPA. Overall, Three Floyds Broodoo is a beer you should check out before it goes away.

India Pale Ale by Goose Island

BEER REVIEW: GOOSE ISLAND IPA

Goose Island IPA is what beer should taste like: full of flavor, alcohol and hops. If you are not familiar with India Pale Ale’s, the version made by Goose Island Brewery is a great place to start (just be careful, every future IPA will have a hard act to follow). The first thing you’ll notice about the Goose Island IPA is the aroma. The pleasant aroma places you out in a lush green field on a beautiful spring day. After your first taste, the hop will kick in. IPA’s are made with more hops because back in the sailing across the world days beer without hop wouldn’t last the long voyages at sea. And since sailors wanted beer on their voyages back and forth from India, India Pale Ale was born. After the aroma and hops, what you have is one the freshest tasting beers you will ever have. Goose Island IPA is what light colored beers should taste like.

GOOSE ISLAND IPA is Highly Recommended by Gonzalo
