Hopslam keg tapped - is it fresh?

Go try it and then tell us.

 

It will either be really great or just pretty great. Bell's still has it on tap. It's not that old.

 

It's Definitely fresh we had 3-4 bars here in MI hold them for pub crawls just 2 weeks ago and they were all good.
I don't think it really starts to lose its Hop until about 6 months out-But by then the brewery would not want it out

 

Freshness in bottles ≠ freshness in kegs.

 

You are correct, but just figured Hopslam Bottle shelf life is 6 months
Draft would be less-but it should be in code

 

Which is better?

 

Don't drink it. Unless you suck from the fermenters teat, it's disgusting.

 

Had one two weeks ago - actually enjoyed better than when it was fresh.

 

Just did some rough calculations. 63.842% chance it will be fresh

 

Why do you think that?

 

I tend to find www.hopslamfreshness.com/calculator to be pretty accurate.

 

Yeah I agree, but sometimes only going to one decimal place doesn't give me the level of comfort I really need to pull the trigger on a bar visit.

 

Drink it......just drink it and enjoy it, I bet it's fantastic.

 

Oh it is way past it's prime. The hop profile in next years batch is already fading.

 

My local bar has been sitting on a keg for close to a month :/

 

It's a DIPA which are brewed to last a very long time. Grab a glass & enjoy.

 

Yesterday afternoon, El Bait Shop in Des Moines tapped a keg of Hopslam and a Firkin of Hopslam. They were both killed in a matter of a few hours, so I'm guessing they tasted awesome.

 

DP the whole keg!!
