Thanks to Jason (JB175) for sending me this one. An above average IIPA, but doesn’t do anything above and beyond like DFHs 90 Minute (great malt profile). It’s one of those beers thats very good but kind of a been here, done that type of brew. None the less it looks great, pours a slightly hazy amber hue with a decent head. Great flavor typical of most higher end IIPAs. Citrus fruits come through nicely. Nice and floral. This one smells great! Very nice on the palate, not too syrupy like a lot of IIPAs this high in ABV which is good, but still very full and satisfying. Overall a very good IIPA, just doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

Aug 19, 2008 12 Oz thanks to ToddB.... Truly outstanding. I’ll steal what Two_Dudes said... A perfect beer.
’NUFF SAID.
Perfect.

Aug 14, 2008 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.

Aug 13, 2008 [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.

Aug 13, 2008 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.

Aug 11, 2008 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.
