Nov 11, 2006 Updated: Aug 17, 200912 OZ bottle from shigadeyo (Thanks!). This pours a hazy golden copper with an average size white head. Nose is citrusy, pine and a bit catty. Taste is the same with lots of hops...mango, and cattiness...a bit of a grapefruit/orange rind aftertaste. Still it is all hops and all good! And wooooe is me..i see it is a IIPA? I had no idea, lol...i thought it was just an ipa....it is the lightest bodied easiest drinking 10% iipa ever! No hint of the alcohol!

Dec 27, 2006 Thanks Santa. Pours out a very attractive copper color with a nice lacing head. Aroma is of citrus and some grassy notes. Very nice flavor starts with some citrus hops with some sweet notes to add some balance. Very well balanced beer that was as drinkable as a mild ale, I honestly thought this wasn’t a double IPA until I looked at the ABV.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle opened with a pop and the aroma poured out long before the brew hit the glass. Oh, the fragrance...perhaps this beers most defining quality. Breathing in this one is a combination of a day at the orchard surrounded by tangerines, orange, and grapefruit and a night camping surrounded by douglas fir. The beer pours the color of the bottle with 1/2 inch eggshell head. Flavor is big and juicy. Amazing balance of hop bite and caramel malt. The alcohol is invisible. Amazing brew!!!

Jan 15, 2007 Updated: Apr 26, 2007Cloudy orange pour with white tinges. Fully diminishing white head, leaving a few fat bubbles and some decent lacing. Looks very oily. Aroma is all hops, obvious citrus smells are orange, grapefruit, tangerine, big pineapple. Pine needle scent is splintering, concentrated. Flavor is more of the same, Hopslam truly is an apt name. The backside of the mouthfeel brings some of the most intense, pounding hop oil to tastebud penetration I’ve encountered. Lovely taste with no unpleasant bitterness. The light finish is not as lingering or resiny as I expected making this beer very quaffable. Pretty boring though, as it is incredibly one dimensional. Very fresh and expertly crafted, I’m somewhat torn on how to score this.
