If you're a craft beer drinker, you've probably had Bell's Two Hearted IPA—and if you haven't, stop what you're doing and fix that. In Episode 13 of Matt Likes Beer, I revisit this iconic American IPA, reflect on my own history with it, and put it through the judging wringer for an honest, guideline-based review. A Familiar Face in the Wild Two Hearted has gone from a hidden gem to a supermarket staple. Back in the day, it was a recommendation from a beer friend whose name and face I've long since forgotten. But the beer? That stuck. It's the one that pulled me into the world of IPAs and hop-forward beers. Even with Bell's acquisition and expansion under Sapporo's umbrella, Two Hearted remains reliably solid—and, importantly, unchanged. It's a 7% ABV American IPA brewed with 100% Centennial hops, delivering citrus, grapefruit, and pine aromas that punch your nose before the glass hits your lips. It's a go-to in restaurants with thin tap lists and a reliable backup when the local stuff isn't doing it. Style Showdown I reviewed it under BJCP's 21A American IPA guidelines. Despite occasional (and misguided) arguments that it's too dark or too alcoholic to be a “true” IPA, it fits perfectly into the style. My judging breakdown? Appearance: Orange-gold and glowing. 3/3. Aroma: Orange zest, grapefruit, tropical fruit, light sweetness. 12/12. Flavor: Great hop expression, solid bitterness, but lacking distinct malt character. 15/20. Mouthfeel: Smooth and well-carbonated. 5/5. Overall: Delicious, but a bit more malt balance would elevate it. 7/10. Final Score: 42/50 Clone Attempts & Price Shock I've even tried to clone this beer using Bell's own ingredients from their old General Store (RIP). The results? Close, but no Centennial cigar. Brewing variables like yeast handling and water chemistry make a big difference. Also? The hops didn't seem all that different from the ones I normally buy. Still, a fun experiment. Then there's the unforgettable sticker shock moment: $16 for a 16oz Two Hearted at a Columbus Blue Jackets game. Worth it? Maybe. Shocking? Absolutely. One-Star Review Roulette The internet delivered again, with some hilariously bad takes: “Tastes like dog shit.” (A classic.) “Most ungodly bitter beer I've ever tasted.” “Deserving of a 75… 1 out of 5 stars.” (Math is hard.)

With his Frederick Flying Cows team off to another great start in its second season of play in The Basketball League (TBL), coach Ed Corporal is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Corporal shares stories from his incredible life in basketball with host Greg Swatek. His step brother, Otis Birdsong, was the second overall pick in the 1977 NBA Draft by the Kansas City Kings (who now play in Sacramento) and quickly became an All-Star player with the Kings and then later the New Jersey Nets (1984). Corporal served as a teenage ballboy for the Kings and was assigned to making sure the visiting teams had everything they need. So, he shares stories of interacting with Magic Johnson, Pat Riley and Larry Bird and what he learned from them by just watching them work. He talks about how the game has changed and why he isn't so enamored with today's NBA game. He also talks about how his sheer stubbornness, competitiveness and love for the game and helping people pushed him and guided him during his recovery from two massive strokes in 2013. And he talks about his unusual path to becoming the head coach of the Flying Cows and why the team has been so good right from its inception. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the ongoing spring sports season in Frederick County, including remarkable no-hitters in both baseball and softball.

Almost two months into his new job as Catoctin High School's varsity football coach, former Cougar Brady Ridenour is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Ridenour tells host Greg Swatek how he got the job at his alma mater. Why did he want the job? What was the interview process like? Did he think he would get the job? He talks about being a lifelong member of the Thurmont community and what makes that place so special, as well as playing for former Catoctin football coach Doug Williams and the impact he had on his life. Ridenour discusses winning a state title as a player at Catoctin in 2009 and his fondest memories of that experience. And he shares his feelings about the program he would like to build for the school and the style of play he would like to implement. Plus, he discusses what life is like being a new father. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss his weekend in Boston at the world figure skating championships and all of the star power on the Frederick County softball scene.

After making a thrilling run to the NCAA Tournament and winning a First Four game, Mount St. Mary's men's basketball coach Donny Lind and junior guard Arlandus Keyes are this week's guests on The FInal Score podcast. Lind and Keyes reflect on their terrific run to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament championship and through their first two games of the NCAA Tournament, which included a victory over American in the First Four and a loss to top-seeded Duke in first round game last week in Raleigh, North Carolina. They tell host Greg Swatek why the team was able to play its best basketball at the most critical time of the season and what they will remember the most about the journey.
