Mar 10, 2009 Poured from 12 oz, thanks to SamGamgee. Hazy gold color, strong aroma of citrus and hops. Taste was excellent with nice, dry, bitter finish.

Mar 10, 2009 What can I say, probably one of the best IPAs I’ve had, on par with the Dogfish head 90 minute IPA.... Hoppy aroma, alcohol content well hidden over the hop filled flavor which finishes very smoothly over citrusy and floral notes that linger on the palate... Not as sweet as the Dogfish Head but equally good....

Mar 9, 2009 Pours ornagish color with white head. Big grapefruit aroma. Sweet malt backbone with a good dose of grapefruit hop flavor. Very well balanced and alcohol is not noticeable. Medium body with average carbonation and a chewy mouthfeel. A great DIPA.

Mar 9, 2009 I smell a combination of spice, honey, and hops... The Ale is a bright copper color with a light-tan laced head.
It’s a mouthful of honey and hops from the very first sip. The alcohol is not too harsh despite the high ABV percentage. This is well balanced. There is a slight hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a crisp and refreshing ale. It is a little heavy, so I would probably stop after 3 of these and take a break.

Mar 9, 2009 This was a pleasantly surprising beer. This is about the last Bells beer I hadn’t tried. I dont care for beers that are overly hopped just for the sake of being overly hopped and the advewrtising suggested that this would be the case. It wasn’t that way at all. The hops were assertive without being too agressive, more earthy and floral than bitter, with a medium body and sweet aftertaste, alomost like honey. The head was thick, lingering and made an attractive ladder down the glass. Good beer - maybe Two Hearted’s cousin.

Mar 9, 2009 Bottle. Amber coloured with a decent white head. Aroma of orange blossoms, tropical fruits and some honeyed sweetness. Sweet citrus flavours, with some caramel and a big, dry, hoppy finish. Good.

Mar 9, 2009 I always smell the bottle right after I pop the cap to get that first whiff of concentrated aroma. I’m glad I did with this one. The bitter hop aroma is mouth watering. I love the sweet tropical fruit notes as well. Pineapple, peach, mango, grapefruit, this is my kind of IPA. It pours a clear copper color with a nice off-white head that disappears fast. Tastes very bitter with pineapple, peach, mango, papaya, grapefruit, and a touch of honeylike sweetness helps it go down smooth and easy... Oh yeah, sweet then buttery, then "slammed" by the hop. Great IIPA.

Mar 7, 2009 Bottle thanks to mreusch. Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of hop oils, citrus, and grapefruit. Flavor is sweet and malty with lots of citrus hops. Full-bodied and not too sticky/sweet as some IIPAs tend to be. Hopslam lives up to its reputation. Quite tasty!
