3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice fragrant nose with English and NW hops. Cloudy golden body with sharp spiciness and bitter mouthfeel. A little lacking in the palate, but lingering bitterness hung out decently in the finish. Disappointing after the Hopsickle and Double IPA from Marin. Still, I could drink this year round no problem.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head on top. Aroma is full of hops with citrus, grapefruit, and floral aromas coming in. Flavor is balanced between hops and malt but is pretty full of hop flavor at some points. Flavors of grapefruit are dominant on the palate. The beer leaves a bitterness at the end on the palate. An above average IPA and another good beer from Moylan’s.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
22 oz bottle. Hazy gold/orange with a white head and moderate white lace. Towards the end of the pour the beer gets quite cloudy, with particles - ?dry hops? Floral and fruity aroma. Grapefruit with a hint of lemon at times, but not at all sour. Very smooth (for and IPA), with good body and hops all the way through. Long, hoppy, bitter aftertaste.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A nice IPA. About what I expected from Moylan. Aroma is a mild hoppy flavor. Appearance is medium orange with thick head. Mouthfeel is smooth with a light bitter taste.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Hazy orange color with a big white head. Aroma, citrusy hops, with some pale malts, grapefruit. Flavor, Pale malts to start, some citrusy bitterness. A soft carbonation. Not bad, but nothing special.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Lots of hops. In fact, for a standard IPA, I think it is a little overdone with the hops. A bit more along the lines of a Double IPA. Delicious nonetheless.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
The pour reveals a slightly cloudy golden color with a huge, frothy, offwhite head. Splendid aroma of green, resinous hops. Solid flavor of green and resinous hops, the malt is present too giving off a sweet caramel feel and it all finishes with bitterness. The body has a light to medium thickness and the carbonation is moderate. This is a well-done and pleasant IPA.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thanks to my wife for this one. IT pours copper with a 2-finger off-white head. The aroma is intensely hoppy, with a pleasant mix of fruit, caramel malt, and tropical tinges accompanying the hops. The palate is medium to dense, with a solid hop element coupled with a tropical fruit and caramel malt base, which gives a crisp, hoppy, fruity mid-palate and finish. I wish I had more of these for comparison purposes.
