Released initially in August,
2014 as the first beer in the Bell's Planets Series, Mars (The Bringer
of War) is a double IPA with a complex hop character and a malty
backbone. Mars will return in 2017.

Notes of tropical fruit, citrus, pine, lemon, lime and pineapple are
all present in both the aroma and flavor. Hopped at a ratio of about 3.4
pounds of hops per barrel, the recipe for Mars was developed from a
trial batch called Larry's Latest Double IPA brewed in our original
brewery located adjacent to the Eccentric Café in downtown Kalamazoo.

Original release date: August, 2014
