Aug 6, 2008 All I can say is be careful. This is an amazingly wonderful hoppy beer. It definitley hides the alcohol, but the taste is exceptional. I had this beer in six pack near Flint, MI and it truly is a Michigan brewed beer. Hats off to the brew master!

Aug 5, 2008 Pours orange with a moderate head. Huge hoppy and floral aroma. Big hoppy bite and the alcohol is well hidden. Nice dry finish. One of the best DIPA I have had.

Jul 29, 2008 Bought a case of this from Chuck’s Liquor in Bowling Green, KY. Well balanced between the hops and malt. High abv, but hardly noticeable. Poured a clear gold color with a two finger head. Aroma was flowery. Tons of lacing. Taste is of citrus hops. The malt is just sweet enough. Great Beer.

Jul 28, 2008 What a great change from the Atwater Salvation I had right before this. This beer was more like a salvation! Beautiful bright orange with a bountiful flowing white sticky resinous head. It slowly dissipates, so not to discourage your lips from hitting the beer right away. Excellent lacing, aromas are bright and vibrant- grapefruit, piney, limes. Flavors are great also, accented well by the citrusy hops, and just a touch of caramel sweetness.

Jul 22, 2008 Pours amber with thick frothy head. Decent lacing. Could smell the floral aroma as I poured it. Very hoppy, floral, some spice, fruitiness and sweetness. Flavor is hoppy and floral with an almost candy sweetness on the finish. Some oranges and maybe some other fruit as well. Nice body with a good finish. Super beer!

Jul 22, 2008 Great beer. It had a nice hop flavor that was mildly bitter sweet. It also left a pineapple-like after taste.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle from DTM’s trade. Bell’s Hopslam is the best DIPA I’ve had. That’s not to say that it’s the strongest, because it’s not. However, the sheer flavor (apricots and peaches) and palate steer this brew. It was sweeter than most, so there was some sugary maltiness there. Overall, Bell’s puts the smackdown on hops and packages them with a leash!
