Looking forward to moving past winter weather, and beer? Bell’s Brewery will launch their new spring seasonal, Smitten, in early February just in time to get you out of the winter blues and into a spring fling.

“A combination of sharp citrus and resinous flavors from the Pacific Northwest hops with the earthy, rustic overtones of the rye malt yield an interesting and refreshing take on the American Pale Ale.”

Formerly called Golden Rye Ale, Smitten is the first new regular bottle release since Oarsman Ale debuted as a year round offering in 2010.

Style: Rye Beer

Availability: 12 oz bottles, on tap

Arrival: Early Feb, 2013

6.5% ABV
