Hop Slam - Round 2

To carry forward the Easter Celebration and end the extended weekend with a smile, I popped and gently poured an eye pleasing Hop Slam.  It presented itself with a nice golden color and rich, creamy head.  It had an earthy, hop filled nose, with a slightly sweet overtone (perhaps it was the honey). It was a smooth entry and exit on the palate and contrary to the label's description, I didn't experience a bruising or bitter taste.  If there was a bit of bitterness with the first bottle, I didn't taste this round.  Perhaps it has mellowed from the 1/9/15 bottle date. Either way, it was a winner and I look forward to savoring the remaining 3 bottles. Prost.
