Sep 20, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a dark cloudy orange, with little floaties in the bottom. Very strong bitter and hop taste up front. Slight alc.% burn towards the end though. Great smelling and looking beer, and very solid overall.

Sep 14, 2009 12 oz bottle probably about 8 months old. Pours hazy dark gold with very little head. Aroma of honey and lavender. Incredibly sweet caramel and honey flavor followed by an almost stinging bitter finsh. Medium body with quite a bit of activity on the tongue. Very complex and almost reminiscent of a west coast barley wine. Would love to taste it fresh. ABV is hidden extremely well!

Sep 12, 2009 12 oz bottle-Trade w/blutt59. Clear golden/orange color w/a slight white head & great lacing. Floral hop aroma. Citrus/floral hop flavor w/traces of banana, wheat, bread dough, & spice. Has a lot of hops, but it’s very drinkable, balanced w/some malt so it’s not an offensive hop bomb. Reminded me of a DHF 90 Minute. I’m not always a DIPA fan, but this one was quite good. Alcohol was very well hidden, but I can feel it as I’m trying to type! Now I know why people say they have been Hopslammed, this baby packs a wallop! Thanks Bob!

Sep 11, 2009 Dan’s Bachelor Party Extended Weekend Rating #44 of 90. On tap at the Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo. Pours a clear golden/orange. Very strong citrus hop nose and flavor. Nice clean wet citrus hop. Clearly the favorite off the taster.

Sep 7, 2009 Pours a hazy burnt orange with white head. Aroma of fruity hops, some malt. Great hop bomb aroma. Similar taste, the hops are ever present but a hint of fruits and malts really balance this out. Very warm in my belly. Exceptional offering from Bells. I’ve just been hopslammed.
Gypsy19 (602), California, USA
Sep 5, 2009 Pours an orange-copper color with a medium white head. Aroma is not as profound as I’d hoped for, but still nicely hoppy with malt lurking in the background. Flavor is very hoppy all the way through; the malt comes and goes. A little bit of light fruit makes a brief appearance in the middle, the malts come with more force toward the end. Rich mouthfeel and viscosity - nice palate. Overall, very good.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle: Pours golden coloured, good white head. Aroma is tangerines and lemons, the promise of hops. The flavour is rye bread surrounded by a bitter hop bomb chased by spicy, peppery honey. Just terrific, why can’t beers like this be available every day? Cursed liquor laws and talent hording brewers.
