Moylans Hopsickle Imperial India Pale Ale

Brewed by Moylans Brewery & Restaurant
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Novato, California USA

ok so i think a few hops fell out of the bottle when i poured this one! aroma is TONS and tons of hops mostly bitter pine and floral notes with a bit of citrus coming through and a lot of sweetness. drinks super thick with alcohol previlant. flavor is crazy thick bitter/sweet hops and some citrus in the middle. finishes harsh and bitter. this one was good, but too much for my palate at this point in time.

Bottle. Pours a very hazy orange. Nice foamy head with great lacing. Aroma of sweet ruby red grapefruit juice. As it warmed the aroma became more of a floral hop scent. Flavor was of very strong grapefruit juice with a nice lasting bitter finish. As it warmed the alcohol really started to show. Very good IIPA, but not worth $10 +.

Flaske: Hop burns for første gang siden en maximus da jeg lige havde startet med at drikke velhumlet øl. Flot ravfarvet klar farve med fint skumhved. Duft af humle. Smag af humle, meget bitter og brænder i ganen af humle. Fin fin øl.

Served up at the recent Moylan’s release at the Brick Store Pub in Decatur, Georgia. Appearance: Dark amber body showing nice clarity and layered with a wispy, off-white head. Smell: Pleasingly fragrant, slightly sweet-scented hop aroma conveys large, deep notes of pine, citrus fruit, and flowers. Distant, lesser notes of malt as well. Taste: Pale malts with a supposed crystal malt sweetness deliver an impression of caramel candy. A sharp, aggressive taste of pine resin, lemon wedges, and white grapefruit bears down on the tongue and unleashes a substantial amount of hop bitterness. The latter half is marked by a now continuous stream of hop bitterness, more caustic pith qualities, and some warming alcohol heat. Some hints of orange blossom develop late. Finishes expectantly dry with a long, bristling bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium carbonation. Lusciously smooth, downright creamy mouthfeel. Drinkability: A pungent, intense brew, but a good one. If you’re in the market for a mouth crammed full of hops then give this beer a try.

Bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy amber, small off-white head. Big grapefruit and citrus notes in the aroma. Flavor is dominated by hops, grapefruit and caramel. Nicely bitter on the finish.

Tap at the brewery. Liquid gold in the glass. White head, good lacing. Floral hop nose. Good balance of malt and hops.

22 oz. bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Dark orange pour with a thin white head. Aroma of hops, hops, and more hops. Holy crap, this is hoppy! Taste is pure bitter grapefruit and pine. This is the hoppiest beer (that was any good) I have ever tried. Not even close to being balanced. It’s great if you can handle it.
