UPDATED: DEC 16, 2011 thanks to mcbackus for the bottle!
Oh boy, i’ve been wanting to try this for a long time. Batch 7690.
Hazy orange color, a nice beige head, with good retention. Aroma is loaded with grapefruit, citrus, and resiny pine. There is an explosion of flavour in my mouth, all sorts of grapefruit, lemon, orange, mandarin, and a loverly piney finish to it all. This is the definition of man candy. The 10% is hidden extremely well, it’s nowhere to be found, outstanding beer!
Ok Re-rate. I just had a fresh bottle that was a gift from a dear friend.
This beer fresh is an absolute slice of heaven. The grapefruit aromas are unreal! i love citrus, and man this is the beer for me! It really was like drinking a sweet grapefruit juice, my god it was outstanding! not too bitter, and the alcohol is nowhere to be found! amazing!

Bottle courtesy of cmr1517. Pours a hazy amber color with a minimal head - decent lacing. Nose is sweet malt and citrus hops. Palate is grapefruit, pine, malt and a slight honey aftertaste. Mouth feel was a lot thicker and creamier than expected. A really nice IIPA.

I’m known around my circle of friends for knowing a lot about beer, always having a variety of beer around and as the one always trying new brews. After I finished my first bottle of HopSlam my unwitting friend asked, "Well... how was it?" As my eyes rolled back into my head I told him... "It’s like drinking adult candy."
Pours a translucent amber brown with orange edges and a creamy white head that ringed the glass. The aroma is great, strong hop but not overwhelming; resin, pine, grapefruit, lemon candies, grapes. The bitter hoppy, citrus flavor rounded out with strong sweetness from the honey they brew with, caramel malts and toffee/caramel flavors. Finish has some lasting bitterness, but also some lasting sweetness. Thick and a little syrupy in the mouth and a little salty on the lips and cheeks. This beer is a lesson in balance. Hops are capable of providing more than just bitterness. Bells HopSlam proves that hops, like Peter Sellers in ’Dr. Strangelove’ , can be both the main character and the supporting actor.
