Mar 13, 2009 12oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors in Lutz, FL. Pours a cloudy golden-yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is alot of grapefruit, some honey, and other hops. Flavor is mostly sugared grapefruit, honey, and some bitter hops...Not nearly as bitter as I expected. Nice sweet, bitter aftertaste. Very smooth. Medium mouthfeel. This is really good...but not as good as Two Hearted in my opinion.

Mar 11, 2009 The aroma sucks you in, and the taste (from first touch of the tongue through aftertaste) does not disappoint. Definitely a sipping beer, but simply delicious.

Mar 11, 2009 PPWD Trade Show. This was the only Bells that I had not previously tried that they had there. I think that the name says it all. You taste and then a couple seconds later you get hit with what can only be described as a Hopslam. Great beer if you like the hops.

Mar 10, 2009 Poured from 12 oz, thanks to SamGamgee. Hazy gold color, strong aroma of citrus and hops. Taste was excellent with nice, dry, bitter finish.

Mar 10, 2009 What can I say, probably one of the best IPAs I’ve had, on par with the Dogfish head 90 minute IPA.... Hoppy aroma, alcohol content well hidden over the hop filled flavor which finishes very smoothly over citrusy and floral notes that linger on the palate... Not as sweet as the Dogfish Head but equally good....

Mar 9, 2009 Pours ornagish color with white head. Big grapefruit aroma. Sweet malt backbone with a good dose of grapefruit hop flavor. Very well balanced and alcohol is not noticeable. Medium body with average carbonation and a chewy mouthfeel. A great DIPA.

Mar 9, 2009 I smell a combination of spice, honey, and hops... The Ale is a bright copper color with a light-tan laced head.
It’s a mouthful of honey and hops from the very first sip. The alcohol is not too harsh despite the high ABV percentage. This is well balanced. There is a slight hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a crisp and refreshing ale. It is a little heavy, so I would probably stop after 3 of these and take a break.

Mar 9, 2009 This was a pleasantly surprising beer. This is about the last Bells beer I hadn’t tried. I dont care for beers that are overly hopped just for the sake of being overly hopped and the advewrtising suggested that this would be the case. It wasn’t that way at all. The hops were assertive without being too agressive, more earthy and floral than bitter, with a medium body and sweet aftertaste, alomost like honey. The head was thick, lingering and made an attractive ladder down the glass. Good beer - maybe Two Hearted’s cousin.
