Feb 20, 2009 This is the best regular ipa that I have had. Tasty but not beat you in the face bitter. Frothy white head, murky golden pour. Great hoppy scent. Excellent beer.

Feb 19, 2009 Bright orange in color with a good sized cream colored head. Aroma is of bold hops, grass, citrus, and pine. Taste is of pine and grapefruit.

Feb 15, 2009 I look at this like a strong APA not an IPA ...that being said.....a fucking great apa very balanced and complex...but drinkable...not as overtly hoppy as west coast ipa/apa’s but I think I can get use to this one...:)

Feb 15, 2009 355 mL bottle. (#8813 on the back). Copper with a small white head. Sweetish aroma of thin malt and light floral hops. Not overpowering. Kinda like Belgian blonde meets IPA. Malt profile steps up as it warms. Bitterness from start to finish. Incredibly full for an IPA. Medium to high carbonation.

Feb 13, 2009 Pint at Bottoms Up Pizza. Upfront floral/citrusy aroma. Slightly hazy orange golden with small white head. Flavor is grassy floral hops in front with a light caramel maltyness and citrusy grape fruitiness. Medium bitterness and well balanced. Very good. Makes you wonder is this Hop Slam without the honey?

Feb 10, 2009 Bottle from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in DC. Excellent IPA. Nice amber color with a thick off-white head. Floral hoppy aroma, east coast style hops and slightly sweet malt on the flavor, slightly bitter finish. Well balanced. I’m starting to like these Bell’s guys and wish they were available out west.

Feb 6, 2009 Gorgeous thick-foamed big-bubble head, slow carbonation, perfect hazy amber color. no lace to speak of. Flowery aroma overpowers any residual citrus. Creamy mouthfeel, full-bodied. Some sweetness to semi-balance the strong bitterness. More bitterness than the 09 Hopslam because of less malts.

Jan 30, 2009 Pours a golden amber. Citrusy nose. Excellent disbursement of hops, malt, and citrus. My favorite IPA to date.
