This is a great beer. Taste marches on but this is still top of the heap. I have a 4-pack to smuggle back to Colorado. And Ball cans to boot!

01/05/17 printed on the label.
12 oz. bottle poured into a nonic style pint glass.
Pours a slightly hazy amber with a nice two finger head that is thick and foamy, lasting, and has good lacing. It has a decent aroma of sweet citrusy hops and bready malts. Sweet, hoppy and mildly bitter, it has a decent malt to hop balance with some caramel sweetness and a smooth finish. Light to medium body and carbonation this drinks fast.
This is good stuff, not a hoppy juice bomb, but a great representative IPA.

12 oz. bottle poured into tulip
(2/17/2017 born-on date)
L: opaque gold, hard to see through, topped with almost full inch of offwhite foam that sticks a little; keeps a thick collar and bubbly skin; a little lacing, not much
S: piney grapefruit and orange, plenty of sweetness under the stinging hop bitterness, sweet biscuit/donut malt
T: candied hops ... bitter but sweet, grapefruit, pine, orange, slight grassy/lime/cilantro finish to the hop bite; loads of biscuit malt flavor, sweet but only as a balance to the bitter hop bite up front
F: thick but lightened a bit with good carbonation ... definitely a mouthful
O: it's as good as advertised; I think I drank the first half of this six-pack just in time to get the really good grapefruity hop flavor, for this fourth bottle about a week later is starting to experience some caramel-mango-like malt takeover; still, it's a fantastic beer and one I will seek out again and again, especially if I can find it inside a month old

Damn good, just try it and repeat. How it is this smooth and full of character is a mystery. Don't question greatness, just drink it.

The best IPA I've ever had. Period. It is perfectly balanced, with a huge hop profile. But, the balance of this beer would make even a 'non-hop' drinker appreciate and enjoy this IPA.

Made my own six in a Texas HEB and for the first time I see some Bell's brewery chilling there waiting for me! I just got Two Hearted this time because there were one or two more exciting choices and a LOT of really cheap incredible beers or ones that I hadn't heard of.
Pours an orange gold with a bit of haze into a pint glass. Keeps a thin ring of foam and one-sided, spotty lacing. The smell and taste take this to a whole new level.
Smell is dank, piney, grapefruit, thing wreeks of hops. Taste follows suit with the hoppy bitter, pine, grass, grapefruit, and a floral aftertaste. This beer is pretty crazy good. I very much regret not going ahead and grabbing the full Bell's catalogue available at the store so I could give all their beers a shot.
Maybe you guys across the country are spoiled, but this is super good and deserves the ratings I am throwing at it. The freshness has to have something to do with it, being packaged on 2/21/17. Good shit!

16oz draft pour into a pint glass shows a hazy orange ish gold body floating a fluffy white head. Some spotted lacing.
Aroma is indistinct, or muted. There is some pine resin and citrus, though.
Flavors include grapefruit, pineapple, grass, pine resin, and a slight bready malt.
Mouthfeel is crisp and clean, medium and oily, just short of chewy.
Overall a well balanced, well crafted beer that doesn't knock my socks off, and doesn't need to.
