Bells Hopslam

On tap at the Taphouse in Norfolk VA also a 12 oz bottle courtsy of Loose Cannon. A cloudy golden color with an off-white head. Aroma was all citrus hops had the aroma of a grapefruit. Flavor was a goos grapefruit flavor with a bit of sweet malt.

Pretty new to the whole beer-as-something-other-than to-get-drunk-with experience, but quickly adding to those I’ve tried. This is my favorite beer. Those in Charlotte who know more than me also cannot wait for Hopslam time.

Bottle. Poured with a small white head and little lacing on top of a light orange body. Aroma is grapefruit hops with a lot of sweetness. Flavor is very sweet with bitter hops throughout, with a fusel alcohol finish. Surprisingly better at a lower temp, as it warmed the honeyed sweetness became cloying. Very interesting IIPA

One of my all time favorite beers, haven’t rated it yet. Pours cloudy golden orange with off white one finger head which eventually thins to a lasting sudsy film. Perfect DIPA aromas of sweet fruit -grapefruit/pineapple/mango, pine, grass, and honey. Flavor is sweet malt, honey, grapefruit with the hops coming through strong at the finish with a pleasant lasting bitterness on the tongue. Perfectly balanced. Medium body with light carbonation. The honey really makes this beer. Alcohol is not at all noticeable until your buzzed at the end of the bottle. Fantastic beer.

thanks ronsup great citrusy grapefruit flroal aroma very smooth with lots of hop bitterness doesnt get much better than this one well done bells.

Pours a rich glowing orange brown with a fantastic creamy fine off-white froth on top. Rich malty, honey, fresh hop, grapefruit, pineapple and piney aroma. Earthy flavor, piney with lesser notes of grapefruit, honey, citrus and grass. A little bit salty/resiny. Light waxy mouthful with medium fine carbonation bubbles. So easy drinking for an IIPA. Reminds me a bit of Goose Island Imperial in drinkability/malt profile, but without the Belgian yeast. Yum.. the definition of double IPA!

The name says it all. You know what you’re expecting when you buy it. Hops and it’s Bells. C’mon. No complaints.

12oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazed deep golden color with a faint orange hue. A wispy off white head with great lacing rounded off the appearance. Bursting with floral hops and citrus. A great bitter finish with good malt balance.
