Bells Hopslam

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

absolutely love this beer, the aroma is a sweet, honey smell to it, pours with a nice white head that slow dissolves. great hops, flavor is sweet and has a good after taste,, get a nice kick of hops but nothing lasting on the palate, one of my favorite beers.

In my opinion this is the best imperial IPA on the market. Pours a nice orange-gold color and the smell of citrus fruits hits you in the face. Very bitter, but not in a bad way. It is almost scary how good this beer is!

Aroma of banana, hops, honey, and floral. Flavor of banana, hops, pineapple. Initial sweet taste that becomes slightly bitter. Medium mouthfeel. For the amount of alcohol it is hidden well. Probably the best of its style.

12oz bottle. Pours clear copper with a small white head. Citrusy and piney hop aroma with a malty sweet balance. Heavy citrus hop flavor, but the honey in this beer gives it the perfect sweet balance to the bitterness. Full-bodied finish. World class.

Fresh 2009 batch poured a beautiful hazy yellow with thick white head. Aroma of strong citrusy hops. Initial taste is hot with citrus and grapefruit. Sweet with hints of caramel and left a very nice hoppy taste in my mouth afterward. Alcohol is hidden very well. An aged 2008 bottle mellows out the hops and hotness and makes for a wonderful taste.

My favorite bells brew. Great balance of bitterness and citrus. The aroma is fantastic, with hints of grapwfruit, pine, and citrus. The alcohol is masked incredibly by the taste. It’s hard ot believe your drinking a 10% brew. I’m anxiously awaiting for this beer to come back in season. Perfect for us hopheads.

Huge pineapple/hop aroma. Deceptively low alchohol presence. Excellent lingering finish. Extremely well balanced.

Bottle poured orange / golden in color with a very thin white head. Very strong hoppy brewed masterfully with honey. Glass just kept building in flavor. And a nice piney finish. Great beer!!
