brentfeesh (896), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Jun 9, 2008 Enjoyed at the Brewery. Copper pour with a light white head-a bit hazy. Lightly sweet aroma with a crisp fruit presence. A nicely bitter brew. Earthy and spicy hops with a decent body for the hops to be displayed. Just a touch of toffee at the finish. Dry mouth feel and medium in body. Certainly not what I would describe as a 2IPA but it makes for a nice American Strong. Enjoyable. My favorite one there at the time. Darkover (1198), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 26, 2008 Hazy amber color with a small head. Floral hop aroma and flavor. Ok, but its too mild for a 2IPA. Dogbrick (2209), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 16, 2008 Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a deep amber color with a medium thin ivory-colored head that dissipates steadily. Minimal lacing on the glass. Huge floral aroma with hops and malt behind it. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with floral hops, malt and caramel flavors. Light spicyness is underlying as well. The finish remains floral and hoppy and leaves a lingering bitterness behind. Enjoyable all around. BeerVirgin72 (568), C-Bus, Ohio, USA Nov 21, 2007 Had on tap at the brewery. POured a nice amber color. Smelled of hops. Taste was slightly sweet up front and then ALL HOPS...I really dont like how the hops hid all the other flavors, but this is my complaint wth most IPA’s. Not my favorite. 7.2% alc. edden (901), cow- lumbus, Ohio, USA Nov 18, 2007 11/17/07: On tap @ Mulholland. Red-brown body with a light tan head. Lace clings to glass. Hoppy aroma. Flavor is nicely hopped (fir tree) and balanced out with some caramel malts. Finish is bitter, in a good way. Of the four beers I’ve tried by Mulhollands, this is my favorite.
