Bell’s Amber Ale

Bell's Amber Ale

This Bell's Amber Ale is my last sampling from my first mixed six-pack that I purchased from the World Market. The bad news is that this six-pack is gone. The good news is that I picked up another mixed six-pack today! Bell's Amber Ale is a product of Bell's Brewery, Inc. in Comstock, Michigan.  The flavor and color of this beer are excellent, but as you can see from the photograph, my particular sampling is displaying a sediment from the bottle.  I don't know if this is normal or not, but I'm definitely not used to seeing sediments in manufactured beers.  As a home brewer, I'm used to dealing with sediments in home brewed bottled beer, so I'm aware that it's nothing harmful.  This sample does not display any flavor issues.  In fact, it's quite nice. 

From the bottle:

You hold in your hand the Flagship of the Bell's family, Amber Ale.  A unique copper ale crafted from mostly pale malts for a rich sweet flavor unlike any other.

From the website:

Our flagship beer is made from mostly pale malt with some Munich and
caramel malts. This gives it a slightly sweet flavor that is balanced
by a melange of American hops. The result is a deep copper color and
rich flavor.

This beer boasts an original gravity of 1.056 with an ABV of 5.8%.  It does have a nice crisp and refreshing taste and will make my list of stuff to buy again in the future...
