Bells Hopslam

Tulip glass from bottle. Aroma of grapefruit/tangerine with grassy hops. Light golden/orange appearance. Ruby grapefruit with earthy hops flavor, little bit of toasty. Pale smooth and bitey. Great beer, hard to find around pittsburgh though.

this is one of the better beers that i have had a privlage of drinking. nice and hoppy with a hint of citrus (grapefruit)

Clear orange pour with a small white head. Aroma of boiling wort, fresh earthy hops. Grainy malt taste with a big, bitter hop finish. Pretty good, but not quite as good as I expected.

12 oz bottle courtesy of DrnkMcDermott. Pours a very hazy orangish dark amber, moderate off white beige head that sticks around. Aromas are heavily citrus hop bouquet, grapefruit, and lemon candy with floral notes slip in as well. Taste seems a touch faded with age. Heavily hopped grapefruit rind and bitter with some resinous pine and bitterness on the back end. Touch of carmel malt discernable, but balanced well (so it has to be a significant amount, right?). Finishes well with a lingering citrus feel on the palate. Medium bodied, not filling. Smooth, not harsh. Would have been even more interesting fresh. Still, pretty damn good. Rerate: On tap at The Galway Tribes (Frankfort, Il). This beer fresh is amazing. Rating change.

Bottle at Eulogy, Philadelphia 18-11-08. This was becoming quite a nice little session for me and Loz, we were having a lovely time sat at the bar. The beer poured a glowing orangey/amber colour, though maybe the candles on the bar might have had an affect on it. Nice full on sweet maltiness, big long hoppy nose, big hoppy hit, the alcohol is really deceptive. What a great beer. A7 A4 F9 P4 OV17 4.1

nice strong citrus hop nose with some floral notes. bright copper colored with a nice beige head. nice bitter hop taste with notes of grapefruit, sour apples and pine. alcohol is well hidden,very nice

Bottle@Home. Strong but not overwhelming floral, fruity and grassy aroma. Golden/amber color, beige firm head, good lace. Pretty sweet, very bitter, fruity, certainly grassy and oak twigs. Full with dry finish. Flavourful yet excellent balance.

From bottle at the Capital Ale House in Richmond, VA. Beer buyer broke it our from her special "vault". Pours a hazy orange-yellow color with strong, positive floral and citrus aromas. Specifying different aromas is not my strong suit, so I’ll just leave it at pleasantly hoppy. Fantastic flavor with the perfect bitterness that completely covers the high alcohol content. This is my favorite brew and January can’t get here soon enough. Already planning a trip back to Bell’s in Kalamazoo!
