Last year was my first time sampling Bell's Hopslam. When it came to DC the fine beer places got a very limited supply, it was very expensive, and it was gone in days. It's an annual release and it's that time of year again. I called around a few stores when I got word it had arrived and they hadn't received it yet. Then I called the Whole Foods a few blocks away and sure enough it was in stock. Last year I paid $54 a case. This year it is going for $80 a case. I bought 2 six packs at first. After enjoying that first Hopslam in a year I bought twelve more the next day. Popping open a Hopslam is like slicing open a fresh grapefruit. It has a huge sour citrus smell. And a huge sour citrus taste. It's 10% ABV. Its a unique beer. As it states on the label: A biting, bitter, tongue bruiser of an ale. With a name like Hopslam, what did you expect?
