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.

Fresh bottle, thanks Rickert! Second time ever. Pours a light hazy golden/orange colour and a creamy off white head with a small layer retention and some lacing. Aroma's of resinous hops, fresh, green. Retronasal it's quite resinous, but there's also some sweetness, maybe some mint?. Flavour is nicely bittersweet. Medium bodied. Warming alcohol. Long bitter finish. Classic OM.

Annual slammer. Seems less bitter, more honey. Pic: I miss my little friends.
