Moylans Moylander Double IPA

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

A golden brown beer with a nice oily looking head. The aroma had nice citrusy hops, fruity, grassy-nice aroma. The taste was the same as the aroma & was very smooth flavored, this is a good beer. You can definitely see the hop oils on the top of this beer.

Pours a hazt gold with e medium head. Aromas of citrusy hops and pine needles. Great fresh hop flavor with a nice malt backbone and fairly dry finish. Excellent.

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, 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.
