Hopslam is 19.99 this year?
Would anyone hate me if I said I'm not all that impressed by the Hopslam?
I'll enjoy it, yes, but I've had better DIPAs.

As a novelty beer, I don't mind paying the high price. It may not be worth the whole 3 bucks per bottle but I've spent more money on crappy beer when I go to the bar. I still enjoy it. I have 1 bottle left, I plan on drinking it tonight. Cheers.

Because I'm not.
I think it has an odd sweetness and syrupy mouthfeel that feels like it finished too high. The aroma from the Simcoe seems overly garlicky and sticky-rotten citrus. And the flavor is kinda "meh".

Yeah, Im with ya on the odd sweetness. I enjoyed it but prefer Two Hearted.
Paid $18.99/sixer.
from Berkley, MI (near Detroit)

I found this site trying to locate some 2013 Bells Hopslam Ale. Still haven't found any on Draft or in Bottles. I even emailed Bells and asked them to send another case to a Party Store near me that already sold out of 10 cases. The rep at Bells was rather rude, and just told me to do the stuff that I had already done to find some. No Luck !
Didn't realize a "spring" Ale would already be sold out in the Home State of the Brewery by the end of January !! They're still shipping Hopslam to out of State locations, but I can't get any when I live 3 hours away from the Brewery. Every Bar and Retailer listed on Bells Beer Finder, that I have called is sold out. Anybody have any place near Detroit where I can try some of this Beverage for the very 1st time ?? I would appreciate it very much.
