I am SOL on this one. Gave it to Nick's wife Michelle when I was over the other night. Didn't even think to grab a sip.

Having had a Bell's Two Hearted recently I can say this beer is easily very close to the original, definitely as close as a homebrewer can expect to get to a commercial brew. The clarity is outstanding. And I'm definitely ganking this malt bill for a future brew; just enough body and a little of that "English IPA" character but still definitely American in overall style. Well-made and delicious. Thanks, I'll have another please!!

You knocked it out of the park over the parking lot and into the field of the neighbouring town. Fucking excellent.

Bell's is a favorite, even though I haven't had a real one. I make a clone regularly. Great marris otter flavour and balanced hops. Good beer.

Playing some catch up.
Lovely golden orange hue. Almost a creamy citrus aroma. Great malt and hop combination. Really a tasty glass of beer. Cheers!

Drinking this now. It's crisp and dries out nicely at the end. It has an awesome colour and it's clear as day. My only complaint is that I'm not getting the nose that I thought I'd get with the recipe and comments. All in all however, another great beer!

I had a 6 pack of the real thing last month. I'm pretty sure it's close. Yours has a better aroma.

Really late and drinking this tonight. Flavour is still pretty good, although the aroma is a little faded by this time. Nice bitterness

This looks like an awesome recipe. Any idea what the AA% of the centennial you used was?

Ok, awesome. My centennial is considerably lower (7.x% or so, have to dig the bag out of the freezer to check) so I would have to bump up my 60 min addition by a decent chunk.
