6.5/10
Really a standard, slightly boozy scotch ale - no discernible Christmas spices to me.

Malty, sweet, and clean. A little thin bodied, but a classic märzen.

Blueberry leans quite tart. Refreshing, light hop 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

Lots of points for balance, but (I can’t believe I am saying this) nothing striking me as special here. The nose features juicy citrus hops, a touch of dankness and mild malts. Undertated though. The taste profile follows from the nose with mild fruity hops, classic soft malts, a smooth body and a nice dry finish.

For me, the Bell’s Brewing Hop Slam had trouble living up to its vaunted RateBeer rating. The nose featured a classic soft malt and fruit nose. The hops were understated for a DIPA, with floral elements, pineapple and grapefruit. A nice balance but a bit thin on impact, body and follow through.

Orange pour. Thick beige foamy head. Flavor of pumpkin and apple palate. Love this beer!! Full bodied and medium carbonation.
