The final beer in our featured brewery for the month is Third Coast Ale from Bell’s Brewery in Michigan. And it is the most disappointing of the trio.
When cold this old ale has pungent notes of strawberry jam on the tongue and if you attempt to avoid that sweetness, the warm beer is kind of metallic and off-tasting with a load of heavy bitterness to it. I have had this both on tap and in bottles to make sure that it wasn’t just a bad batch but it is nothing if not consistent. Stick with Smitten or the Northwestern Pale or go-to the go-to of Two Hearted.
