Year of New Beer: Venus, Bell's Brewery (MI)

Written By: Dion on 10/30/2014

The second of their Planet series, Bell's goes a bit unusual with this one. Nose is at first tart from the apricot, then spicy from the cardamom. On the tongue is where things go awry for me. Sour with an undercurrent of creamy vanilla. That I'm down with. It's the weird juxtaposition of spice that throws this off to me. Also throw in a tea/cola note. Just weird. But that's the beauty of craft beer, someone else may love this. Picked up at The Beer Trappe.
