This is for the hopheads. The little bite of honey makes it manageable when you consider the alcohol and serious hop flavor and aroma. I dig it.

The perfect beer. Never before has there been such a great balance of hops and malt. Neither dominate and the 10% ABV stays in the background making this the most sessionable non-session beer ever. Well done guys.

[1546-20080723] Bottle. Fresh juicy sweet navel orange peel aroma with a great hint of pine hops, reminds me of a bed of evergreen needles. Hazy, orange amber body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Full orange grainy hops flavour has notes of pine resin and bitter seeds, a boozy sweat finish and a long hoppy aftertaste. Medium-full body is boozy. In perfect shape, extremely enjoyable.

I love Hopslam! Golden orange in color, cloudy, nose of citrus goodness (orange). Lots of citrus and resin. Bitter, hides the alcohol. Very smooth and easy drinkin’ for such a huge hop beast.

pours orange with a small, white head with good lacing and alcohol legs. the aroma is of hops, citrus (orange) with a strong caramel backbone. has a very malty flavor of caramel, hops and orange/lemon with an orange peel finish. bitter throughout. overall its a very enjoyable, well balanced beer, although a little on the bitter side.

Bottle thanks to ucusty. Bottle marked 8277. Pours with a small white head covering a hazy orange body. Some good lacing. Aroma of citrus hops (mainly orange), and a large caramel back bone. Taste is very malty (drinking a winter bottle in the summer). and some slightly orange hops in the finish. Creamy mouthfeele lively bubbles. Would not age too well.

Batch 8907. Pours with a huge, fluffy off-white head with tight bubbles. Clear golden body underneath with a few particles. Great lace and retention. Aroma is quite strong and room filling. Pungent with pine, melon and honey. Alcohol and caramel on closer inspection. Dank C-hops. Taste is big and hoppy with orange and citrus bitterness up front and through the mid palate. Finishing with lingering notes of honey, caramel and floral hops. Silky mouthfeel. Really good!

Great DIPA! Nice amber color with an average white head. Floral and hoppy aroma. Real nice sweetness. Flavor is the truest definition of "bitter sweet."
