wwwdottom (21), Breese, Illinois, USA Nov 4, 2009 12 oz bottle - pours a cloudy copper with two finger head that leaves lacing throughout - strong citrus and floral hops in the aroma and taste - very bitter - overall this is a very good beer that I throughly enjoyed checkmatei1 (629), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 3, 2009 Bottle: Poured a dark copper with a little head. The aroma was hops, floral, and citrus. The flavor was hops, hops, slight bitterness and a touch of sweet citrus. Overall, this was actually VERY smooth and didn’t burn the taste buds. Excellent! washoppinin (19), Florida, USA Oct 30, 2009 Slam me! The complexity is fantastic -sweet honey, piney resin, and so so hoppy. 10%ABV Need more! Cornboy (417), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Oct 15, 2009 Sampled in NC, bottle. Great name, beer was great, just not exceptional. Might have been the hype, but felt a little out of balance for my tastes. The IBU’s are not as high as it tastes, no hint of alcohol, just biting hops. pete4999 (119), Buffalo, New York, USA Oct 15, 2009 Bottle courtesy of DA from Fever..thanks! Golden/brown pour. Definitely a honey scent, as the bottle promises. Taste is hops, hops, and more hops. Very little sweetness, bitter all the way through. There really aren’t many better IPAs/DIPAs out there. Exceptional beer. gyllenbock (234), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 9, 2009 Bottle at Oliver Twist in April 09.
Fantastic beer! A lot of tropical fruits and citrus in aroma and flavor. Bitter but also very balanced. Smooth, and easy to drink despite 10%.
Without doubt one of the best beers I have ever tasted. NathanJM (30), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA Sep 26, 2009 Extraordinary. Pronounced hops and light citrus (apricot and kiwi). Just loaded with flavor. Not as bitter as many DIPA...much more refined and balanced...if you can use those terms with a beer called "...slam"! Serve it cold and enjoy this seasonal brew. neepsntatties (275), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 24, 2009 Sampled a bottle of this from "hannont" a few months ago. Colour...dark, murky orange with little head. Nose... a smack (or "slam") of citrus and pine resin! Palate... lightly frothy, sticky with pine pitch bursting with citrus and a nearly overwhelming bitterness (but in a good way!). The 10% ABV is well disguised! Damn fine Imp. IPA!
