My first beer from Bells Brewery, and another one that I picked up while on a trip to Indianapolis. I really hope this place starts to distribute on the East Coast soon otherwise it may be time for another trip.
Bells Hopslam pours orange/yellow in color with a normal-sized white colored frothy head. The carbonation is very apparent from the pour and the lacing is adequate. Aroma is very hoppy(obviously from a name like hopslam you would expect this) and consists of flowers, spice, honey, citrus, and caramel sweetness. It's like someone dipped a nice smelling flower in honey.
The taste is where this beer shines: it is nice and bitter at first but then it leads into a sweet honey and light fruits ending. Almost no taste of alcohol even though this brew sits at 10%. A great well balanced IPA.
Appearance - 4.1
Smell - 3.8
Taste - 3.9
Texture - 3.8
Overall - 3.9/5
