Man this really delivers both hazy citrus and tropical flavors, and big bitter hops on the finish. A lot of triple ipa's begin to feel like they are falling apart at the end of the sip, but here the haze serves to be the glue to stop this phenomenon. Juicy, hoppy, slightly creamy and sneaky thick in the feel, yet very easy drinking, especially for abv. Smell does get a bit boozy on the end, but still plenty of hops and fruity haze to go with.

A new and improved Bells Hopslam! Different hops I’m sure, but the high ABV and presence of honey reminds me of the first “triple” IPA I’ve had and loved. This hides the alcohol much better and has a wonderful soft mouthfeel. Whereas I’m ready for something lighter after 12 oz of Hopslam, I feel like I could drink this all day. Even with this being packaged on 10/03, it has a nice smell and tastes fresh. I hope they make this again soon. Wish I could have tried the More version too.

Dark orange, cloudy. Hop bomb smell and taste. Citrusy, juicy, slightly bitter. Honey adds a touch of sweetness. Creamy, mouth watering. Big and bold. Tasty.

 

 

 

 

 

16oz can, PKG 10/02/18. Opaque and hazy peach colored [NE?]DIPA with a crazy thick and foamy ivory head that holds great retention. Tropical fruity aroma of papaya, mango, and citrus. Just as the can suggests, flavors are papaya, mango, orange, and honey; delicately hopped for optimum flavor and modest bitterness. Full body, extremely creamy and smooth, ample carbonation, alcohol is warming but very well concealed in flavor and definitely sneaks up on you. A very flavorful new-school DIPA that kicks your ass!
