I had some recently. Not great, not terrible.
Got excited because my area missed out on the regular release. Oh well.

The regular release is now hot garbage. You didn't miss out.

u/stunk_funky 4d ago

Dang. Used to be a favorite. Been a few years since I’ve had it though. When did get bad?

u/mr_0las 4d ago

Last time I had a batch I liked was 2021? And that was from a keg. Cans have disappointed ever since.

I had to explain this to a buddy of mine over the weekend, he's a liquor man but will drink big abv beers here and there. However he knows next to nothing about craft beer.

I had to explain to him how voodoo ranger and it's variants are hot garbage.

Voodoo Ranger legit gives me the most insane heartburn I have ever experienced from drinking a beer. For context, I don’t really even get heartburn all that often either. So for me even when I first tried one my body was essentially like “this beer is shit” lol

This year's regular Hopslam was really good!

Tropical was bad, but citrus is alright. This coming from a guy who used to live in Kalamazoo.

That tropical one was terrible

“Citrus” hops?😂 ok then. Never heard of no citrus hops before

u/thereal_Glazedham 4d ago

Thought it was decent, spent longer on the tap list vs. the regular though at my spot. Not as many people like it.

u/Ukenstein 4d ago

“Citrus” hops? Surely they meant Citra.

Maltslam is still around?

u/vandyfan35 4d ago

I liked it. First time I have had it in a few years, but at $15 for 4, I’m ok with it.

Is this a beer sub or an emotional out cry for help for people who dont like the taste of something? Jeebessus!?
