Yeah, it loses some floral character after a few months, but it's still my favorite beer, I'm pretty sure.shoot teh hoistage.

Somebody I'm married too snuck the last one we had the other night. Yeah, better fresh but still awesome. Glad we got some in KC.

Truth be told(if this is a bell's thread)i think two-hearted is better. That being said are we talking bottled,or fresh off tap stuff here?My favorite beer on tap(other than homebrew) is short's Huma-Lupa-Liscious.It knocked the socks off my two-hearted from tap in a side/side compare.

I'm with kegdude. Two Hearted is better. Hopslam isn't bad but Two Hearted is an epic IPA that I don't think will ever be matched by them.WHOA, I blacked out for a second there. What forum am I in?

[Trub L]

Two-Hearted is good, but definitely not Hopslam. Ranking IPAs, I would accept:HopslamDFH 90-minute IPAStone RuinationTwo-HeartedStone IPASo 2 in the top 5 ain't bad for Bell's.

Guess you've never had Green Flash West Coast or Pliny, I'd even put Founders Centennial IPA over a couple of those.

Founders is damn good. I like them as much as Bell's overall, maybe even a little better. That said, no way is their Centennial better than Hopslam or Two-Hearted.Green Flash is damn good, but not top five material either.

If you'd like to submit something for the list.....

I'm confused, where the hell am I, is this the PH?

Isn't there some kind of emergency numerical code for situations like this?

Jenny can handle a lot of stuff (believe me, I know... ), but moderating beer forums ain't one of 'em.

My hopslams have lost a lot of aroma over since I bought them. I'm down to 2 left. YD I have a really good IPA on tap. We should get together.

Green Flash IIpA not so good. Could of been a older bottle. It was just sweet. Our home brewed IIpA's are way better.

[DaBearSox]

Oh crap! Thanks for the reminder I am heading out to Chicago next week and probably spend a day or two in or around Kalamazoo gotta pick some of these up to bring back to the mountains.

I had some Hopslam at Bell's back in February. In terms of aroma, it was insane. I don't know if I could tell the difference between sniffing that beer versus sniffing a handful of hops. I don't know if it's one of my favorite IPA/IIPAs, though. It's a cool novelty and a pretty good beer, but there are a few I'd pick over it.

I've had fresh Green Flash and not so fresh Green Flash. That's definitely one beer that loses it BIG TIME. The fresh stuff was outstanding, the not so fresh stuff sucked (paying $15 for a 6-pack just adds insult to injury).
