Thanks Hayduke! This beer pours a hazy orange gold color with a two finger off white head that hangs around for a long time. Nose is tart citrus fruit and sweeter passion fruit. Start is a big grapefruit bite but that soon settles into a nicely balanced IPA. I left it for a while and came back to find those big biting hops again. This is a great representation of an IPA and a fine beer.

[2625-20091204] Bottle. Fresh light pineapple hops aroma with very light notes of grapefruit. Clear, light orange brown body with a medium-lasting creamy white head. Dry-esque woody citrus hops flavour. Medium body is bitter. Bitter and interesting.

Definitely not my favorite Moylan’s beer to date and seemed to be outdone by it’s little brother Tipperary. The aroma seemed rather light on the hops, but what I could get was some grapefruit and a showing of old caramel malts. Flavor was mildly sweet, veggie-like bitterness with a puckering like bitterness. No doubt an older bottle I think, so I will re-rate once a fresher bottle can be found. Should be easy enough.

Pours a slight hazy yellow to orange color with bright white head. Nose is fresh with soapy citrus and a touch of vanilla birthday cake icing. Palate is very tart, citrusy pine, and leaves the palate with a lot of tartness and "tang". Finish is long and tangy/tart. Not one of the better beers from Moylan.
