First, it has two pretty, grey fish on the bottle. SOLD! I am a sucker for an artsy label, after all.
Still, pop the cap and this is a delicious, complex IPA. The first sip is a little stringent, but the follow through is slightly bitter and absolutely delicious. Like all Bell's, it is best decanted into a glass (leave the last 1/4 inch in the bottle to avoid the backwash looking swill).
From the Bell's website: "India Pale Ale style well suited for Hemingway-esque trips to the Upper Peninsula. American malts and enormous hop additions give this beer a crisp finish and incredible floral hop aroma. (7% alcohol)

I really enjoyed this beer a lot. I didn't like it quite as much as the regular Bell's Pale Ale, but it was quite tasty, especially with food. Two thumbs up! Bell's has yet to make a bad beer in my opinion.
Agreed. Tasty. I would go 9 as well.
