12 oz bottle into an imperial pint glass; poured cold and tasted as it warmed.
A - Deep orange, with a nice head which dissipated fairly quickly to lacing, which clings down the glass. Looks clear (no yeast, etc.), but a bit of chill haze at beginning.
S - In a word - awesome. One of the best noses ever; let's see we've got mango, apricot, orange rind, pineapple and candy. Usually am not good at getting aroma off beer, but this one is an exception.
T - As advertised by the nose; lots of piney hops throughout the palate, backed by an (almost) sweet background of malt. The palate is very consistent; no real changes in taste through the palate, but the hop flavor does linger for a bit. A *bit* on the sweet side for me, but that's a minor complaint.
M - Smooth, almost creamy with "tiny" bubbles feel and feels a bit heavy/syrupy, which goes along with the sweet flavor.
D - Above average but the heaviness may wear a bit; could wreck a few of these for sure, though.

Impressed with this one, more so than with other Bell's offerings I've had. Recommended.

Picked up two of these as part of a mixed-six in Traverse City Michigan two weeks ago.

Tulip glass fill from a 12 oz. bottle.

a. A happy translucent orange. Thin head shrank to a nice white surface film with a heavier foam ring which spread evenly as lacing as it was drained.

s: Mild fruitiness.

t: Nice light vaguely citrus with enough hop bite to let you know it's there.

m: Refreshingly light. Quite a lot of carbonation.

o: A great warm weather drink. If it were not for the alcohol, and if it had more citrus notes, you might think you were drinking a fruit cocktail.
