Moylans Hopsickle Imperial India Pale Ale

Pours a clear amber with one finger of head, quickly dissipating. Aroma is a dank, floral, hoppy herbal bouquet. First flavor is resinous pine, that sticks with you. Excellent, bitter and oily. The name fits. ON LATER ANALYSIS: Not only is this a great beer, it’s also a beautiful beer. Copper with layers of cascading bubbliness. MUCH LATER ANALYSIS: This has become overpriced and lost a lot of its charm. Its missing something - in that its just bitter, not flavorful.

Bomber. Pours a hazy amber with a fluffed up white head. Nose is of orange, pine, grapefruit, and grassy hops. Its hard to pull anything other than hops out of this aroma but some sweet malts just make it. Flavor is disappointing as the nose is hoppier than the taste. Citrus and very bitter resinous hops start you off, followed by sweet caramel malt, yeast, some fruity esters which are all cut short with an overly astringent finish. Mouthfeel is medium and oily, turning very frothy and creamy with a quick swish in the mouth. What happened to hop flavor?

Bomber. Clear amber pour with frothy white head. Sweet malt and citrus on the nose. Big hop profile, but great balance with an equal malt presence. Medium mouthfell with bitter finish. Good beer.

Picked up recently at Olivers in Albany. Hop bomb of delivery of Cascade, Simcoe, Columbus, Ahtanum, and Chinook Hops. Some malting. This is a feeding of hops. The appearance with a golden colour and white head, the aroma-hops. Just too much bitterness one-dimensional. Have enjoyed more balance in this style.

Pours burned orange with the most rediculous amount of sediment floating around. Big head that dies and laces. Smells of huge hops, pine, citrus, malt, yeast?, something funky. Lots of flavors hit the palate. Yeast, hops, fruit and hops but not the blistering hops I hoped for and expected. The alcohol is not evident at all. Mild carbonation and full in the mouth. Drinkability is okay. To be honest this wasnt what I expected out of a supposed hop bomb. Ive had doubles and singles that delighted my hop fix much more. Worth a try though.

great for the price, very sweet, good hops wasnt fully inpressed with this, great bang for the buck though

Deep amber pour. Resin and pine aroma. NIce alcohol at the swallow. Sweet malt balances nicely with the bittering hops. NIce job with this one.

Pours a hazy orange/amber with nice sticky caramel colored head. Tons of piney hops, citrus, caramel, sweet malt, grass, and herbal notes. Very well balanced, with little alcohol coming through. Good stuff.
