    Thanks for the responses. Maybe I will just buy a single for now (I hope there is still some left when I go to the store) before committing to 6 or 12

    Hopslam at Weiland's on Indianola Ave. in Columbus. It's chilling in my trunk as I sit in my cubical; thirsty!

    The honey is Hopslam dries out the beer considerably, so much so that Bell's adds dextrins to the beer to add body and prevent the beer from being too dry. The sweetness in Hopslam is either perceived, due to the fruity hop and potential residual honey flavor, or the residual sugar left after fermentation, the sweetness does not come from the honey.

    Got a case of Hopslam today in Toledo... Had to hit up 2 different stores to get it though. Enjoying one now and is worth every penny!

    well, why not just add more hops and make THAT a ten?

    I just finished my first one of the season.... wow... just WOW! Sipped on it for an hour and very happy with how smooth this is for a double IPA. This is my second season and so happy with how balanced this beer is!

    I was referring to the Va Beach area. Looks like no Hopslam this week, but we did get EB.

    Bought a six pack yesterday in columbus ohio. Date 12-27-13. 18$ Wheres the Hopslam? Malty and sweet. Why ship a hop forward beer out a month later to a state thats right next door? Huge disappointment!

    I would say, treat it as you would a stout or another high alcohol beer, I am sure that there is more sugar in this than a regular pale, but I dont know how much. Maybe you could get this info from Bells and make your judgement based on the facts.

    Westy's in Mechanicsburg, PA said via telephone today they would have it ... next week. I guess I know what I'll be doing every break I get for awhile. if only I could homebrew such a beverage...
