It's no surprise that Michigan's most coveted and well-known beer, Bell's Two Hearted Ale, is one of the most popular recipes we put together for customers in the shop. So we made it into a nice little kit to share with the rest of the internet.
If you're not familiar with this popular IPA, it is a classic American IPA that helped shape the entire style and culture around American-style IPAs. The blend of base malt builds a clean malty backbone to allow the hops to really shine, and a pinch of light caramel malt keeps it balanced, not sweet. Hopped entirely with Centennial hops, this beer exudes resinous pine and grapefruit / citrus notes.
