The lightest beer from Bell's Brewery is their Light Hearted. This beer was specifically crafted to have all the heart and flavor of their popular Two Hearted Ale, but with fewer calories and a lower alcohol content.
One of the key selling points of Light Hearted is its low calorie count. With only 110 calories per serving, it is a great option for those looking to enjoy a beer without worrying too much about their calorie intake. This is especially appealing for individuals who are conscious about maintaining a healthy lifestyle or watching their weight.
In addition to its lower calorie count, Light Hearted also has a lower alcohol by volume (ABV) of 3.7%. This makes it a lighter beer in terms of alcohol content compared to other offerings from Bell's Brewery. While some beer enthusiasts may prefer higher ABV options for a stronger flavor or a more intense drinking experience, Light Hearted provides a more sessionable option for those who prefer a lighter beer.
As a sommelier and brewer, I appreciate the effort that Bell's Brewery has put into crafting a beer that still maintains the quality and flavor of their flagship Two Hearted Ale while offering a lighter option. It can be challenging to create a beer with a lower ABV without sacrificing taste, but Bell's has managed to accomplish this with Light Hearted.
I have personally tried Light Hearted and found it to be a refreshing and enjoyable beer. The aroma is hop-forward, with citrus and floral notes that are reminiscent of its sibling, Two Hearted Ale. The taste is balanced, with a pleasant hop bitterness that is not overpowering, allowing the malt backbone to shine through. The finish is clean and crisp, making it a great choice for a sessionable beer on a hot summer day or when you're looking for a lighter option.
Light Hearted from Bell's Brewery is a fantastic choice for those who want a lighter beer without compromising on flavor. Its low calorie count and lower ABV make it a great option for those looking for a more sessionable beer, while still enjoying the heart and character of Bell's Two Hearted Ale.
