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!

Jan 2, 2007 Hazy orange pour with white lace head that coats the glass. The aroma is absolutely enticing! Sweet chewy hops. The flavor matches wonderfully. I don’t want to write, I just want to drink more! Why or WHY can’t bells ship to NY. A phenomenally tasty beer.

Jun 8, 2008 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!

May 4, 2007 Updated: May 13, 200712 oz bottle. I could smell the hoppy goodness as soon as I poured this one. Deep amber/orange color with a small white head. Aroma was an awesome sweet malt balance with some citrusy notes. Flavor is smooth with good hop/malt balance but dominated by a hop bitter aftertaste. Looked great, tasted great...damn this is one great beer. I just wish I had more then one.

Feb 26, 2008 Updated: May 6, 2009draft @ redlight redlight. Very strong piney and citrus aromas, aroma is dominated by sweet resin. Pours golden amber with a dense white head, looks great. Sweet citrus and pine resins, bitter hop flavor, definitely balanced for the amount of hop flavors, its not extremely bitter but excellent hop flavors.
re-rate cask @ redlight redlight. Wow sticky pine resin on the nose with citrus peel. Pours cloudy golden blonde with a thick white head. Sweet honey malts with huge grapefruit flavor with piney resin, the aftertaste is all pine resin. On cask the mouthfeel is very smooth, there’s extremely low carbonation.

Mar 1, 2009 This is just a wonderful drinking experience. Nice looking golden orange color. Aroma is not big and offers floral and citrus. Perfectly balanced with plenty of sweetness to even out the tart hops. Caramel, grass, floral, citrus flavors. So nice in the mouth, too. Well done Bells!

Dec 23, 2006 Very good, but it’s no 90 Minute. The aroma is amazing. Very citrusy as well as herbal. Definitly worth a try.
