4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
On my 3rd 6-pack of this stuff! Love it. Some beers are the bland, obnoxious UV lights at your office that give you a headache. Some beers are the incandescent bulbs that give that nice glow, but only heat you up. This beer is the full-spectrum sunlight that soothes the mind and salves the soul. The malt and honey nicely equalize what would be a mighty bitter hop volley. Even the aftertaste is a pleasant herbal wisp that leaves you ready for the next sip. Highly recommended.

This bottle has some age on it, I may re-review if I can get a fresh one this winter.
Poured from a bottle into a standard pint glass. Beer is dark yellow and hazy (maybe from sediment), carbonation moderate and a moderate white head of small and medium bubbles forms, lots of lacing on the glass.
Aroma is mostly malt with a secondary aroma of some hops. It smells sweet, overall good.
This beer is still quite the hop bomb. Full bodied, great hop flavor in the midpalate, a slight aftertaste. There is a nice malt flavor in the front of the mouth. Second taste, rather cleansing. I really am enjoying this beer. The aftertaste grows as you drink, does not really affect drinkability. Both drinkability and mouthfeel high.

This is really great stuff. The second year i have been drinking Hopslam, Grapefruit, some alcohol followed by honey and pine aromas. Sweet citrus with some earthyness to it and a little burn, too. What I like is the balance of the malts and hops, sweet and bitter blend. Nice full palate. Everything continues right into the spicy finish. A classic.

Dark amber pour, small head with lots of lacing. Aromas of grapefruit, citrus, and a lot of hops. Flavor is more grapefruit and some pine hops. Finish masks the alcohol well. Probably the most hyped beer in America right now, but does it live up to the hype? You decide, IF you can find it.

12 oz bottle from a trade with Dan. Pours a hazy gold with a white fluffy head. Aroma is filled with grapefruit and hops, with a bit of citrus wafting through. Notes of a bready taste, followed by a grapefruit bomb and orange peels. Hints of maltiness. Has good carbonation. Offers up a nice flavor profile for a DIPA without being too sweet or bitter. Very yummy stuff.

12 oz bottle from Sun Devil Liquor in Mesa.
Nice hazy amber, thin head but good retention above active carbonation.
Complex aromas of caramel, earth, grapefruit, pine, honey.
Flavor is predominately grapefruit with some piney and earthy notes and a subtle sweetness holding it all together. Finish is long and the pine shines through. Just a bit of alcohol bite.

Same bottle as pictured. Bottled mid January. We had so much of this. It was amazing. Pours golden brown with head that retains. Full citrus aroma with a tiny bit of pine coming through. Very balanced taste. One of the best beers I have ever had. I can’t wait to have again.
