mabel (2530), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 13, 2008 [1546-20080723] Bottle. Fresh juicy sweet navel orange peel aroma with a great hint of pine hops, reminds me of a bed of evergreen needles. Hazy, orange amber body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Full orange grainy hops flavour has notes of pine resin and bitter seeds, a boozy sweat finish and a long hoppy aftertaste. Medium-full body is boozy. In perfect shape, extremely enjoyable. Rockinout (945), Kent, Ohio, USA Aug 13, 2008 I love Hopslam! Golden orange in color, cloudy, nose of citrus goodness (orange). Lots of citrus and resin. Bitter, hides the alcohol. Very smooth and easy drinkin’ for such a huge hop beast. Praetorian (86), Los Angeles, California, USA Aug 11, 2008 pours orange with a small, white head with good lacing and alcohol legs. the aroma is of hops, citrus (orange) with a strong caramel backbone. has a very malty flavor of caramel, hops and orange/lemon with an orange peel finish. bitter throughout. overall its a very enjoyable, well balanced beer, although a little on the bitter side. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Aug 11, 2008 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Bottle thanks to ucusty. Bottle marked 8277. Pours with a small white head covering a hazy orange body. Some good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops (mainly orange), and a large caramel back bone. Taste is very malty (drinking a winter bottle in the summer). and some slightly orange hops in the finish. Creamy mouthfeele lively bubbles. Would not age too well.

Batch 8907. Pours with a huge, fluffy off-white head with tight bubbles. Clear golden body underneath with a few particles. Great lace and retention. Aroma is quite strong and room filling. Pungent with pine, melon and honey. Alcohol and caramel on closer inspection. Dank C-hops. Taste is big and hoppy with orange and citrus bitterness up front and through the mid palate. Finishing with lingering notes of honey, caramel and floral hops. Silky mouthfeel. Really good! jmm635 (249), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 8, 2008 Updated: Feb 27, 2009Great DIPA! Nice amber color with an average white head. Floral and hoppy aroma. Real nice sweetness. Flavor is the truest definition of "bitter sweet." barleynhops (82), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Aug 6, 2008 All I can say is be careful. This is an amazingly wonderful hoppy beer. It definitley hides the alcohol, but the taste is exceptional. I had this beer in six pack near Flint, MI and it truly is a Michigan brewed beer. Hats off to the brew master! Chipper (179), Red Lion, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 5, 2008 Pours orange with a moderate head. Huge hoppy and floral aroma. Big hoppy bite and the alcohol is well hidden. Nice dry finish. One of the best DIPA I have had. nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Jul 29, 2008 Bought a case of this from Chuck’s Liquor in Bowling Green, KY. Well balanced between the hops and malt. High abv, but hardly noticeable. Poured a clear gold color with a two finger head. Aroma was flowery. Tons of lacing. Taste is of citrus hops. The malt is just sweet enough. Great Beer.
