Bell's Hopslam

[Homercidal]

I got a newer batch than the one I previously bought and this one seems better. I must have grown accustomed to the hops though, because it's still a little on the mild side for me. Better though. More hops flavor and just the right amount of bitterness. Good sipping IIPA.

Just had my first pint of this. I love big IPA's but this was underwhelming. What's everyone so worked up about?

Everyone is worked up BECAUSE it's underwhelming this year. I just chalk it up to drinking furious all summer, then wet... then abrasive!

The nose didnt blow me away but it had still good hop flavor and bittering.I liked this year that i noticed the honey presence unlike i did last year but then again my palate has changed,and i still have two bottles left, ha. I definatly would take a pliney over it,maybe and probably even a lagunitas. Its a great beer but i can think of a handfull of double ipa's i would go to sooner. Even 7- 9 %ers like Victory even some random brewerys Harvest ales.Maharaja definatly comes to mind as a "would go for first." I know im doing a this ones better thing,so for anyone if its the best beer they would ever try thats great,i just think its. I almost think i would just enjoy a 2 hearted really.

I got some this week. I like it but I think the price is way to steep.

I don't see buying it again.

Had some in Orlando - after I ordered a Two-Hearted, he said " I am VERY sorry, but we don't have any Two-Hearted. We have a substitute called Hopslam".

Done and done - wow! This ranks right there with Port's Hop-15 for amazing hops and interested malt support (read: not too much).

Excellent beer.

I personally wouldn't age this beer. I think that it needs to be consumed quickly and in large quantities . .

One of my favorites fresh!..... Also however try putting one down for a couple years.. It turns into one hell of a barleywine
