Bell's Double Two Hearted ale release!!

I enjoyed regular Two Hearted more. By a wide margin.

 

I had a similar experience, though I wondered how much of that was due to the bar being set so high by Two Hearted. Double Two Hearted certainly isn't a bad DIPA, but I do think it suffers from not quite living up to its little brother's lofty standards. Still a great beer IMO.

Do you think they ever considered naming it Four Hearted?

 

I think they considered naming it Double Two Hearted.

 

In 2020 we got it at least a month after it was released here in GA, so it was a hard pass. Considering that this turns into a big mess very fast.

 

Would like to try Double Two Hearted, as long as they don't price it like a madman like Incessant which I passed on (f**k you, TW)

 

$17 a six-pack locally -- probably not gonna happen in my house.

Cheaper than the 2 pints I had at lunch the other day, but my gut turns when I know I can buy a 12-pack of something good for less than $17.

 

I did this today…it’s still bothering me. A brewery never tried before, traditional style so I was even more intrigued. Curiosity killed the wallet but it was only one four pack. Oh well, it’s actually a decent beer so at least there’s that.

On the topic of double two hearted I didn’t try it last year. The high abv sort of steered me away, maybe this year I’ll give it a go.

 

Last year, I was really surprised by how different the two beers were. I've been drinking Bell's for over 20 years and I looooooove Two Hearted, but Double Two Hearted was a complete miss for me. It's not the worst Bell's DIPA I've had, but it's definitely in the top 3 of that list.

 

Double the pleasure in one package.

 

You forgot "double the fun" too.

 

Double the mint?

 

Thought about that but didn't want to be too obvious.

 

I don't think those words were part of the jingle, other than the line with the product name, but, yeah you got it.

I doubt that most BA members would have ever heard that jingle to know the product anyway, but we old farts can reminisce.

(Wow, I just had spell check question the word 'farts' so I added it to my old codger dictionary! )( Wow, now it doesn't like 'codger'!)

 

Then there's the variant . . .

Double your pleasure
double your fun,
get yourself two girls
instead of just one.

 

GOOD ONE!!

 

Totally agree with this.

I'll certainly be grabbing Double Two Hearted when it appears. I thought it was very good fresh & even improved as it got a bit older. Even at two months it was still an excellent beer. But I don't get the lineage from Two Hearted at all.
