Bell's Hopslam (2014)

[DanzBorin]

As I expected, Hypeslam got worked over by Heady and Sucks in a blind taste test. What was even more surprising is that it finished 5th, behind also Palate Wrecker and Great Return from Hardywood Park (which has basically no hype of any sort).

I think it competes more in the triple IPA category.

It's probably the best I've had there.

I must admit I love this beer. Plus it takes on a secondary life when the hops turn bitter. Balances out the alcohol burn and honey sweetness. It's a fine line between that and "1 week too old no longer good."

Purchased my obligatory 6 pack...Still have two sitting in the fridge (snowbank). $14.99 at the local grocer. It's a fine beer, nothing to complain about on my end, just not something I'd drink often. Been that way for the last 3 years or so.
