Bell's - The Planets Series

Sorry guys.

My post was a bit misleading, I have several bottle caps of each, not the brews themselves.

My cellar is terrible, as in empty. I've attempted to age some beers but they just don't survive more than a month or two.

 

Is Neptune not close to being released yet still? I know Bell's said July.

 

It's only the 4th, give them some time. If I recall, Uranus came out near the end of their stated month, so I wouldn't expect Neptune early in the month.

 

Works better for me. I'm in Seattle anyway.

 

Thank you!!!

 

I unfortunately missed mars and venus and would like to try both because I have had the rest of the series.

 

@tiffany0322 Venus is on tap at Bell's

...not sure why though, it was easily the worst beer of the series

 

At some point, Larry needs to let it go and pour the remaining Venus down the drain. If someone's visiting Bell's for the first time and their first beer is that one, they'll leave with a very bad impression of what they have to offer.

 

Very true... Venus tasted like a homebrew gone wrong.

 

I would not order Venus, but I sure do wish I was there right now.

 

Been able to get all of them in Warrington, PA except Mars and Venus. Disappointed since I've heard only good things about Mars.

 

I've been able to get all these beers so far around Hudson, Wi and Woodbury, Mn area. Can't wait for Neptune to come out.

 

I feel I am the only one that really enjoyed Venus. I'm ok with that too as not everyone has the exact same tastebuds.

 

Last one, on the bottling line. Any idea when it will show up in the GS and Cafe? Planning a trip out next weekend so hoping to only make one trip.

 

I liked it too. 1 sixer was enough though.

 

ISO Neptune...

 

Neptune's either gonna be a muddled mess or a tasty melange. I don't see much middle ground occurring with that number of adjuncts.

 

Neptune is out! On tap at the Eccentric Cafe (along with Black Rye, hooray!). I'm stopping by the general store after work to see if they have bottles available.

 

Hmm, anyone have any idea how long it generally takes for distribution to trickle down into the Central Ohio and/or Indiana area?

 

I just had Venus and gave it slightly higher marks that most. However, while drinking it I did go back and forth between thinking it had a odd bitter flavor (I think from the cardamom? the vanilla flavor was good and the apricot wasn't bad) and thinking it was actually pretty good. I think if they had done a couple of more test batches before going into production it could have been truly delicious.
