Commercial Description:
Our Moylander Double IPA is fat and resiny, with aggressive and excessive hops swinging on an enormous malt backbone like naughty monkeys on a vine. Double malt, double hops - do the math, it's academic.

Draft. Pours orange gold with a thin white head. Hoppy aroma with floral and citric notes. The flavor has floral hops, a light sweetness and a nice bitter hoppy finish. Not bad.

MMM... Nice juicy hops blended with some caramel notes from the malts. Some alcohol in the aftertaste. On tap at RNH while watching yankees win the world series.

Golden amber with a couple of cm of off-white head that lingers on for quite a while before settling into nice looking chunky lacings. The smell is very very hop forward. Tropical fruits (grapefruit, kiwi, mango) mixed with pine-needles, resins and mint. A very fresh and "green" hop profile. Some fudge and a restrained smell of malts. No sign of alcohol. A very nice smell, balanced and delightful. The taste is good as well. Unfortunately, the hops are not as "green" and fresh as in the smell. They lack some precision as well. But still, there’s plenty of tropical fruit (grapefruit, kiwi), resins and pine-needles. The minty note reappears as well. The malts are restrained but is noticeable with a soft and round caramel-like taste. Some fudge. Quite a lot of sweet flavors actually. The finish is really bitter, but the bitterness has a great timing to it and feels really integrated and not assertive. Plenty of pine-needles, hop resins and notes of bread. Perhaps a faint note of alcohol. Rather full body, not very sticky. Quite crisp. A very good DIPA, well made and a showcase of good craftsmanship. Balanced and rather complex. The hop profile very nice. Drinks really easily and is very refreshing. Serving type: bottle (Copy of old Beer Advocate review)

Bottle 66cl. @ home.
Clear medium amber orange color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, heavy hoppy, orange. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090723]

Bottle, 22 fl. oz. Pours a golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is hops (grass). The flavor is Malt and hops (grass). The palate is bitter. Overall a good average beer.

Amazingly piney and sticky IPA. Had some on tap at Rattle n Hum. Wonderful hop aroma is backed up by the intense flavor, which posesses notes of grapefruit and pine tar. Heavy, lip-smacking goodness. Very bitter and dryiing. Really an experience.

Hmm, the scent of HOPS! Thick cloudy yellow. Stare at the beauty. It tastes great but I think their hopsickle is a tad better.

66cl bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Golden, small pale head. Very sugary nose, sultana raisins, faint pine, pineapple soap. Flavor is soap, citric hops, shampoo, pineapple, hints of pine, sugariness and did I mention the soapiness? Dull and simple shampoo bitterness. Almost full bodied, slightly warming soft palate. Just sugar and awful hopping. Maybe this has spent a bit too much time travelling around.
