Bell's Third Coast Lager

I’ve always been intrigued by trying beers that refuse to identify themselves as a particular style. It’s kind of like opening a present Christmas morning; you’re not quite sure what it is until you actually taste it. This is the case with Bell’s Third Coast Beer, neither label nor brewery website informs drinkers of the style of beer they are about to enjoy.

The mystery ends there, however. Drinkers will need only one taste to know that they are enjoying a pale ale. Although not as strong as most traditional pales, the taste of an assertively hopped brew cannot be mistaken and Third Coast definitely exhibits these tendencies.

The hops go extremely well with the mixture of floral and fruit used by this Michigan brewery. I wish I could give a much more detailed description on the taste of this beer, but the flavors were blended perfectly creating a very complex taste. I will however stake the lives of my non-existent children on the fact that Third Coast beer will provide you with an experience you will not regret.

This pale ale is also one of the smoothest and easiest brews I’ve had the privilege of drinking. If you aren’t paying attention, your bottle will disappear within a matter of minutes. It took less than ten minutes to polish off my first bottle and I wasn’t even remotely trying to drink at a quick pace. Luckily, a 4.8% ABV allows you to drink this beer like any of big beers generic water downed lagers, without any heavy after effect.

Bell’s Third Coast Beer comes in at 8 mugs out of 10.
