Starting with six different hop varietals added to the brew kettle & culminating with a massive dry-hop addition of Simcoe hops, Bell's Hopslam® Ale possesses the most complex hopping schedule in the Bell's repertoire.

Selected specifically because of their aromatic qualities, these Pacific Northwest varieties contribute a pungent blend of grapefruit, stone fruit and floral notes. A generous malt bill and a solid dollop of honey provide just enough body to keep the balance in check, resulting in a remarkably drinkable rendition of the Double India Pale Ale style.

I don't know. It's okay. Don't understand the hype.

Draft. Honey and pine aromas. A little hot on the palate. More pine and caramel. Aggressive bitterness. Harsher than 2017.

Extra Notes: Quite piney and bitter on the palate. Booze is there. This is still a classic, but palates are changing as with the times. 2018 feels more bitter than past years though.
