Bottle. Sightly hazy amber with an average head and lacing. Aroma is floral and citrus hops with a good malt backbone. Flavor is bitter with a balancing sweetness making this quite smooth and drinkable. Mild carbonation, and drinkable. Pretty good.

bottle. copper pour with huge frothy head. great lacing. enormous aroma of citrus and hops. awesome hop bomb. citrus and a bitterness that reaches down deep into your throat. despite the enormous amount of hops there is a good balance. delicious. this is what a IIPA should taste like.

Clear amber-orange pour with a thick fluffy white head. Lots of floral piny hops. Citrus and grapefruit notes. Very bitter leafy flavor. Just a little of fruitiness to it. And touch of sweetness. Some malt in there as well. The bitterness is strong and lingers. Not my personal favorite, but pretty good.

NIce to have Moylans recently enter MN. I jumped all over buying this when as soon as I saw it. Aroma is reminicent of DFH 90 Minute (one of my favorite IIPA’s). Citrusy hops abound. Mango, orange, pine, and some earthy hops. Flavor is very nice. Finishes a little harsher than 90 minute, as this is a beer for the serious hopheads. I still find this very enjoyable, the harsh finish is not a turn off, moreso makes it a little challenging, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. Well done! Good stuff indeed.

Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a light orange tint and a thick, pillowy off-white head that left nice lacing. Aroma consists of sweet oranges, grapefruit, tangerine, light lemon, a hint of resiny pine, and a soft caramel malt peaking through. Thick, lightly sweet entry with some undertones of soft orange, tangerine, and mango transitions into a resiny, piny explosion with a moderate bitter astringency that ands a bit of a metallic taste and tends to take away from the natural hop flavor and bitterness. Beneath this astrigency there is actually a soothing caramel maltiness that comes out, but it is overshadowed and lost quickly. Perhaps this beer can only be truly enjoyed on tap at the brewery. A bit of a bummer, maybe I will try it once more to see if these characteristics are consistent.

Tried on vacation in CA. Great clear amber orange color. Bright citrus aroma. Pervasive bitter "aftertaste" that starts before you even have a chance to taste this beer, than continues long, long after your last sip. The only flavor I got was sour grapefruit, pine, and metal. The bitter was was so heavy throughout I might buy again as a oddity.

Bottle. Trade with TytoAnderso. Pours a A orangish golden color.Huge sticky, resiny piney hop aroma. Almost frighteneing. Big hop bite in the taste. Almost bordering on harsh but not quite there. Great sticky hop mouthfeel. Very well done
