2011 Day 31: Bell's Hopslam


Name: Hopslam
From: Bell's Brewing, Michigan USA
Type: Double IPA


On the last day of each month, I'm going to try to highlight excellent beers. Our first installment is Bell's Hopslam. Double IPAs are a dime a dozen, but this one really stands out. You can smell the massive aroma of citrus and pineapple from across the room and the taste almost lives up to the smell. The 10% ABV is well masked, and the dryness that comes from brewing with honey gives this a great finish that counters the bitterness. A bit pricey, yes ($16 for a 6 pack) but a fantastic beer worthy of the hype. Delicious.
