Commercial Description:
Our Moylander Double IPA is fat and resiny, with aggressive and excessive hops swinging on an enormous malt backbone like naughty monkeys on a vine. Double malt, double hops - do the math, it's academic.

Bottle. Pours amber. Strong hop aroma. Nice hop bitterness with a bit too harshly bitter secondary.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is clear medium amber. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, cookie), lightly to moderately hoppy (grapefruit, resin, flowers), lightly yeasty (dough), with light notes of aspirin and dried papaya. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter. Medium to full body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic, lightly to moderately astringent. Typical abrasive west-coast style DIPA. Thankfully (for me, at least) the hop aroma is a bit on the weak side for the style (these are brand new to Colorado, so I’m kinda surprised a fresh batch doesn’t have more hop odor), but they certainly (over)assert themselves in the bitterness/acidity/astringency department.

22 oz bottle. Foggy peach brown with a brief bubbly head. Nose is grilled pineapple and grapefruit pith. Begins crisp and refreshing finally revealing resin and some heft. Taste is caramel and orange nicely balanced with pine, a bit of soap. Just what I expect from a good DIPA.

full and fruity aroma, almost strawberry, with honey and pine. flavor not so harmonious--some grapefruit harshnes, distant sweetness. clear light amber color with modest head; bit of weight in the mouth masks the decent carbonation. harsh finishw/definite warming

Yummy yummy beer, drinking it presently with some super-fattening chips. "Naughty hops" is right, over the top but taste is right. From bottle from Bevmo Mountain View

Nice amber/peach pour. Head is above average, lacing is minimal.Nose is pine and citrus with a touch of earth. Taste comes right out at you - pine and citrus, with a decent maltiness. Mouthfeel is silky and the finish stays forever. A very nice IPA.
