Hopslam goes on vacation with a new, experimental hop bill. Our brewers picked a unique blend of hops to lend notes of pineapple, mango, and passionfruit in this fun twist on our iconic DIPA. Available for a limited time only. Still miss the original recipe Hopslam? Never fear, OG Hopslam will be back in January!

Can. Pour is a hazy light gold with a puffy white head that dies to lacing and a few patches of bubbles in a couple of minutes. Aromas are boozy, with some honey and biscuit maltiness, and a nondescript tropical edge. Flavor is similarly boozy with some tropical fruit and a little bit of a chewy malt presence. Decent, but man I miss old school Hopslam from back in the day.

Hopslam one of my top triple IPAs, I'm interested to see what Bell's does with a NE version. Snifter ready, I tilt the 16 oz can into the glass. Translucent yellow-gold body with a huge white head that disappears quickly. The nose is inviting, citrus, tropical effect, lightly hoppy, what is there not to like? The taste is comparable with the scent. Apricots, white bread, pine, pineapple, malt and a touch of grapefruit. Decent enough, touches all the bases but does not rise above. I thought it would break out.

16 ounce can from Trenton Road Takeout. Clear, medium gold pour. Large, firm white head. Excellent lacing. Mild tropical fruit aroma. First sip brings bittersweet hop flavor. Notes of grapefruit, pineapple, lime and pine. Big bitterness throughout.

Pours a lightly hazy, pale golden yellow, with big, thick head. Aroma has a lot of tropical fruit notes, some citrus, some bread. Flavors are a bit more toned-down, but with tropical fruit and bread predominant. Clean, crisp mouthfeel. Mild levels of hop bitterness in the finish.

16oz can. Pretty solid - weird drinking a spin off on a once iconic beer. there was a time Hopslam was the GOAT. Still pretty darn good

Clear orange-bronze pour with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops, tropical fruit and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of grapefruity hops, honeyed tropical fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruity hop aftertaste. Not as good as the original but pretty enjoyable overall.

Golden yellow with large white head and moderate effervescence. Orange, pineapple, biscuit malt, and grapefruit peel aroma. Moderately sweet tropical fruit, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter grapefruit peel flavor. Nice body and balance.

Pint can. Passion fruit aroma with notes of pineapple, mango, grapefruit, tangerine and floral hops. Pours clear golden colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with passion fruit, mango and tangerine hop flavors. Finishes smooth but a touch dry with pineapple, grapefruit and floral hop flavors. Pretty good.
