Bell's Two Hearted

Really my first two craft beer and still one of my favorite go-to IPA.
I had a fantasy football draft at my house and someone left one in my fridge. A couple of weeks later I figured what the hell and have it try. At first I was disgusted but by the end I knew it would open a whole new world of beer.

I need to give it another try - it just tasted strange to me. I had one on tap a few nights ago and couldn't quite figure out what was going on with it. I liked it but it was weird - if that makes any sense.
It is my favorite IPA. My next is Deschutes Fresh Squeezed. Then Hebrew Lenny's RIPA. Two Hearted was rated #1 IPA in the world by ratebeer. It is what an IPA should be in my opinion and opened up my love for IPA's.
I like it. First had it at the Keg Stand on tap I believe. Always like to grab a sixer when I see it.
A very solid beer. It helped solidify my love of IPAs, and I was ecstatic when it came to Iowa. I don't drink it all that much these days, but that's just because of the numerous options that meet or exceed it, but it really is a fine brew.
Fair, but to me WC IPA's are much better. Green Flash IPA, Alesmith IPA and Ballast Point Sculpin are my top three.
Love me some Bell's Two Hearted Ale. Very solid IPA, easy to drink while still maintaining a lot of flavor. If I ever see it on tap at a restaurant, I'll recommend it to any of my friends that haven't had it before.
Its an above average IPA IMO. Had it at a wedding this spring and compared to the Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA, which was also hosted, I would take the Two Hearted in a heartbeat (ba-dum-tss).
The Fresh Squeezed was horrible- like sucking on a mouthful of hops- way too strong for my taste.

So you don't like heavy, chewy beers, but you prefer dopplebocks to IPAs?
Dopplebocks are about the heaviest, "chewiest" beers that are out there (and that's not a bad thing). It's the flavor of hops you don't like. Not a chewy or heavy character.
It's probably a blessing I don't live there or I would rarely drink anything else.
I don't exactly live in Decorah (but close enough) and between TG, New Glarus, and the beer that I acquire as a result of my ability to provide TG in a trade, I rarely do.
