Cerveza Chica; WOW! This beer literally attacked my taste buds, but in a good way. I am by no means a hop fanatic, but they were right on the mark with this one. I loved the smell of this beer. It was a perfect balance of hops and sweetness. The bitterness was definitely there, but it wasn’t so overpowering that it made me pucker or have difficulty drinking it. I also love the fact that it is 10% alcohol but you can’t really taste it at all. The bitterness definitely lingers in your mouth but you are left with more of a sweetness in the end. This beer is without a doubt special and I feel very fortunate that Ferm was able to get his hands on some since it is such a limited release. This will be hard for other Bell’s beers to follow.
Score:4.77


Ferm; Shhhh..Don’t tell Cerveza Chica, but I think I am going to have an affair with this beer. Yep, I’m in love. Super Hoppy, nice sweet notes, and very little malt…but just enough to get 10% ABV! I think I have found a new favorite beer. Sadly this one is really hard to get hold of, and is a nice limited release. The down side is I only picked up a six pack. While I’m not a huge fan of Bell’s Beers this is amazing. If you can get your hands on this bad boy RIGHT NOW! This is hop perfection! I wouldn’t change anything about this beer. I love the lingering bitterness. Ok, so here time for a score. Sadly I wont give a beer a 5, simply because there is no where to go from there, and aren’t we all looking for the NEXT GREAT BEER?!? Well this is close to a 5.
