Picked up at the 4 Winds Market in Pensacola, FL
Consumed 3/11/2010, reviewed from notes
Appearance: Very bright golden orange, very small white head with very little lacing down the glass.
Smell: Tons of grapefruit notes, hoppy also. Hence the name I reckon! A sweet smell is also present, probably all the honey they use.
Taste: Very sweet at first, almost too sweet. Then the sweetness dissipates with a strong hop ‘slam’ (yeah I went there) Pretty well balanced, though the sweetness might be a bit much for some.
Mouth feel: Left a stickiness to my mouth, pretty heavily carbonated also.
Drinkability: Pretty drinkable for being a 10% ABV beer. You’d probably only want 1 or 2 of these at a time due to the sticky feeling and high ABV.
Overall: A pretty good IPA, worthy of the title HopSlam. If I had one complaint it would be the sweetness. Other then that I look forward to getting my hands on some more soon!
