Bells Hopslam

bottle. Absolutely fantastic beer. Terrific imperial IPA - massive amounts of Hops but incredibly smooth finish. Probably the best IPA I’ve had - remarkable beer

This beer really satisfied. A strong alcohol content but not over powering. It had all the characteristics everyone has raved about. I recommend this beer if you can find it to anyone who likes a dry finishing beer.

This strong IPA is unique due to it’s high quotent of fruit citrus and honey flavors. Definetly two captains driving this boat, one of hops and one of honey and fruit. Love the label too.

Sampled at Oldsmar Tap House, thanks Tony! Hazy orange pour with off-white head. Strong pine aroma with some nice citrus notes. You can definitely tell what you’re in for before tasting this one (if you couldn’t gather that from the name). Flavor is mostly sticky hops and grapefruit. This guy finishes very bitter. Overall, awesome DIPA.

Bottle. Pours hazy honey amber with a thick white head and significant arcing lacing down the glass. Redolent of citrus, cantaloupe, grapefruit, pine, leafy hops, honey, and clover. Flavor is sweet and mellifluous up front then immediately strikingly bitter on the back of the tongue, however the bitterness almost lacks the clarity of the usual coniferous or citric bitterness that’s expected; it’s just really bitter. Very sweet and reassuring malt base cuts through the bitterness but is then re-enveloped by a spicy bitter bite at the end. The body is carbonated strongly but not cloying and conspires with the alcohol to exacerbate the bitterness. The use of honey was perfect but lent no undue viscosity and the body was perfect.

batch # 8907 poured golden and clear with half inch off white head with aromas of hops lots of hops ,pine ,citrus and clover honey,taste is vey mild for a dipa hops but much of the hops flavor and high alcohol content is masked by the hugh malts base of this very drinkable masterpeice overall i really dont go out of my way for any ipa or dipa but with all the forum talk going on i had to check this one out and I’m very glad i did

12oz bottle. Batch 8907. Pours clear copper with nice soapy white head. Aroma is wonderfully citrusy and hoppy with some sweet maltyness. Flavor is citrus, pine, sweet malt and bitter hops. Mouthfeel is a bit syrupy with sweet malt. A nice DIPA but a bit over rated. Re-Rate: The aroma is great, Flavor is nice. Still a little to much sweet malt for my palate but this is a good IIPA. I think I was expecting a little to much the first go around. A fine beer it but stil not worth its lofty rating.

Pours a copper color with a nice white head.... Huge citrus, pineapple, grapefruit, mildly sweet aroma, this is one of the best smelling beers i’ve come across... Doesnt have the creaminess to the aroma that alot of DIPA’s have... Flavor of piney hops, a bit of citrusy though not the big citrus from the aroma, and a touch of honey, doesnt live up to the aroma or the hype for me... Also by the by, i dont get the tongue bruise i was promised... Great balance for a double ipa(usually i dont like big double ipa’s mainly because of the creaminess/fullness of the mouthfeel)... Big thick sticky mouthfeel, you can detect the alcohol by feel, but not by taste... Mildly bitter, mildly sweet finish... Good, nearly great, but way way overhyped and overpriced, the marketability of limited supply vs huge demand in action....
