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!

Bought at Wyoming Discount Liquor in Casper. Best before November 9th 2025.
It pours a mostly clear pale gold with an ample head of foam, good retention and lacing.
The smell is grapefruit citrus, light tropical fruit, some caramel malt.
The taste is pretty nicely balanced..not overly sweet malt presence, not overly bitter presence of bitter hops, nice fairly lightly done tropical fruit so it has the bare minimum of dankness, which I appreciate.
Rather fullish body, resinous, coating the tongue. 9.0% abv is barely noticeable.
Yeah, I will drink this again.

Disappointed that Bell’s used the Hopslam name on this beer; seems to me to be a marketing gimmick. Beer is okay but there is nothing hitting my taste buds to remind me of Hopslam.

16 oz can. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Tropical hops (mango, passion fruit), citrus (orange, grapefruit) in the aroma. Flavor has tropical and citrus hop flavors as well, fairly juicy. With Hopslam as my favorite beer, I was kind of hesitant to try this for fear of it being a bad knockoff. But while it's not really on the level of Hopslam, it is still very good.
