Smitten

As we spring forward this weekend adjusting our sleep schedules and daily routines, our food and drink palates tend to change as well. It could be the birds chirping in the dawn or the premature pollen in the air, but I'm stoked when I smell fresh grass and morning dew. I then suddenly notice myself craving beers with resiny hops and earthy character so why shouldn't I give this Golden Rye Ale a try?

This Bell's beer sure met my expectations! At first I picked up on the bready grains and citrusy aromas from the hops but then, the rye spice snuck up on me… What a pleasant surprise! It was love at first sip. Smitten. Indeed.
