Moylans Hopsickle Imperial India Pale Ale

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

Pours orange/amber with thick off white head. Huge hop aroma as soon as the top was popped. Big piney nose that is extremely inviting. Taste is all hops with nice citrus and grassy flavor. A hopheads dream. Excellent brew!!

bomber from grape & gourmet. pours a very nice golden amber with a good 1/2 inch head that lasted well. a very eye-pleasing beer actually. Aroma was stellar lead by fresh simcoe and cascade hops with hints of tulip, pineapple, and orange. flavor was a great contrast to the aroma with a huge hit of bitter hops without the sweetness that sometimes go along with IIPA’s. Very dry hop bite lingers on the toungue for a good long time. Mouthfeel is very smooth for 9.2%. Really a great beer aimed directly at true hop-heads.

Pours a beautiful copper color with white head with good lacing. Big ass aroma of spicy, spicy hops. Flavor it right on the money. Great malt balance to go with the huge hop flavor. I get the spicy flavor and it just keeps coming. Lingers on and on. Chewy texture and slight alcohol on the finish with those hops still lingering. Beautiful beer.

A very hoppy as they put it "celebration in hops." I liked this beer but I thought it could have used a little more of the sweet citrus factor instead of just the hops bitterness, that could have really put that over the top. Still very good.

A hopheads dream. An aroma of pure hops and then an onslaught of hop flavor for the tounge. The aftertaste is a little bitter but for a 9% abv beer it is very smooth. This beer is not for everyone but if you love hops this is a great one.

bomber from ben’s wine and spirits reno, nv: Dangerous brew: this beer should have a warning label "for hopheads ONLY" Do not attempt to drink this beer if you do not like excessive hops, you will be making that ugly grimace all night and trying to wash your mouth clean. Aroma of nothing but hops, I can’t smell the malts in there but they must be there somewhere. Proper IPA copper color. Flavor of.. well sorta like chewing on a fresh hop flower. The flavor lingers in your mouth just about forever. Drink with caution, but hophead’s dream come true ;)

Pours orange with an off white head. Aroma is citrus, pine, hops, and more hops. There is a quick citrus taste when it hits the tongue before an onslaught of hops. This beer has a really long dry bitter hop finish that isn’t that appealing to me. I felt like a need a sip of water after every sip of beer. If you are a major hop head than this is the ticket.

Amazing aroma of hops, pine, and oranges. Great slightly hazy orange/amber pour with a medium frothy off-white head. Great initial citrusy orange sweetness and a fantastic layered hop finish. The hops come on lightly mid taste, ramp it up as you swallow and then settle down to an easy bitter sensation that lasts forever. Nice creamy body too, great for such a powerful IPA.
