| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Bottle. Nice head with excellent duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are rich with hops and flowers. A bit one dimensional on the hops, but I love hops. topherh (936), Kearney, Missouri, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Pours orange-amber with a medium white head. Lots of citrus hops and malt in the nose. Flavor is the malt trying to balance lots of pine and citrus fruit hops. The hops win out, but this is still fairly balanced and good to drink. coyotehunter (551), , Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 11, 2009 Bottle thanks to Wavers1. Pours a cloudy gold with a smallish head. Nose is heavy on the malt with some citrus and a light spice. Flavor is pretty good , though it seems to be malt heavy. Hops pick up some as it leaves my glass..Good heavy bitter in the finish. drjay44 (805), Salida, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 8, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours a short lived head, over a clear, golden (SRM 15) body....nose is pine, resin, grapefruit, mild toffee.......taste is initially mild malts and then in comes the hop bomb with pine and grapefruit dominating, long lingering bitterness....mouth feel is medium as is carbonation. I did not get the floral mentioned in the commercial discription. This is a fairly average IPA in the American style, except bitterness dominate a little too much. lithy (1750), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

Aroma of pine and light wood, spicy hops, caramel. Taste is spicy, pine hops, caramel, toasted malt. Dmalone102 (218), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 7, 2009 I’ve only had a few offerings from Moylans, but I’d have to say, they seem pretty decent.
From a bottle.
Aroma- Floral hoppy smell, like roses. Hop aroma also includes pine. The hops are very potent in the aroma.
Appearance- Strong, off-white head, great clarity. Copper in color, very good head retention.
Taste- Strong bitterness, moderately low malt flavor, reiny, low fruity esters.
Palate- Light in body, A little more body would make the bitterness easier to drink. There is some dryness from the bittering hops, but nowhere else.
Overall- This would be a nice IPA with some malt backbone to balance.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 7, 2009 From Firefly. $7 was a bit much for this one, but whatever, I needed a new IPA. Poured the mandatory cloudy copper body underneath a smallish ivory head. Aroma was mostly hops, along with some pleasing grassy notes. Flavour was pure hop, along with a good bite to the mouth. The finish suggested at more malt sweetness than I’d expected.
