Two Hearted IPA

Tap to rate

Citrus, grapefruit and pine carry this American IPA, brewed and dry hopped with 100% Centennial hops. The name comes from fishing waters in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. At 7% ABV and 212 calories per 12 oz, it is a year-round Bell's beer, also poured on draught, and the brewery recommends a nonic glass for it.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Two Hearted IPA

◎ Appearance

Two Hearted presents a bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and lively carbonation. The dense, off-white head builds quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. A nonic glass preserves the substantial foam collar throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus and grapefruit zest lifted by the 100% Centennial hop charge. Pine resin and a subtle herbaceous character sit beneath the fruit, with clean malt undertones providing gentle support. The aromatic profile is crisp and inviting, free from oxidation or off-notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and refreshing, with citric hop bitterness establishing itself immediately across the palate. Mid-palate layers in resinous, piney character alongside orange notes, while a light, clean malt base prevents harshness. The 60 IBU bitterness balances the slight sweetness, finishing dry and crisp without astringency.

◑ Finish

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
