Bell's Two Hearted, Lacing at Mi-Key's in MKE, WI

Just a quick note about lacing-- here's a recent glass of Bell's Two Hearted at Mi-Keys in MKE, after a few sips to wash back one half of a fish taco, which that Latinish bar/restaurant does right.  (See for yourself:  http://www.mikeysmilwaukee.com/)

Nevertheless, if anyone doubts what's going on in a glass of Bell's, I suppose we've captured proof of life-- proteins, combining with hops (exclusively Centenial) and what you get is what looks like a "Something About Mary" moment in your glass. 

For beer geeks who monitor lacing like obsessed-compulsive bird watchers, I say:

Happy Halloween, now drink your cob webs.

You'll find that the soaked masses at Beeradvocate rate Bell's Two Hearted a 95http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/1093

I rate it high, and have it often, so here's another money shot of this beauteous American Pale Ale foaming up like Ted Nugent stalking deer... with his bare hands:

Bells website states: "Bell's Two Hearted Ale is defined by its intense hop aroma and malt balance. Hopped exclusively with the Centennial hop varietal from the Pacific Northwest, massive additions in the kettle and again in the fermenter lend their
characteristic grapefruit and pine resin aromas. A significant malt body balances this hop presence; together with the signature fruity aromas of Bell's house yeast, this leads to a remarkably drinkable American-style India Pale Ale".
