Red Duck Bell Hop

Apparently Red Duck promised that they'd never brew a black IPA - too much bitterness coming from two directions, they reckon. However, they've decided to offer up something with a generous helping of hops and a fair touch of the dark stuff too with the Bell Hop. Described as a "mildly hoppy, dark brown ale" it features a blend of eight well known hops - Columbus, Chinook, Simcoe, Willamette, Cluster, Galaxy, Amarillo and Cascade. And apparently, they're considering a double Bell Hop in the future - the Concierge, perhaps - which may or may not look like a black IPA after all.
