Moylans Tipperary Pale Ale

Brewed by Moylans Brewery & Restaurant
Style: American Pale Ale
Novato, California USA

This aggressively carbonated beer had a distinct British hop bitteress and a sweetness, that moved back and forth consistent with their wording betweenthe bitterness and the sweetness. And neither was overdone. It was nice and if more complexity, would merit a higher rating.A bit of hop smell, a nice head were also featured. Bee-aye #3300.

Bottle. Pours a transparent amber with a fluffy, beige head and thin floral aromas. Flavor is mild and rather uninspiring. Watery sweetness with a touch of floral hops and maybe a touch of orange juice. Finish is soapy and mild. Very disappointing from Moylans.

Draught at GABF 2008. Clear golden - white head. Nice high hoppy, grass, pine, resin, wet gress, knækbrød, swedish flatbread, light malty sweetness, lovely full bodied. Nice.

It’s a long way to the bottom of this bottle of Tipperary bomber. Hoppy orangey smell. Oh my, all kinds of big chunks in the pour from the bottom of the bottle in my huge tumbler. Large rocky head. Was clear at first but, now cloudy from sediment. The flakey pepper size chunks chunks and more chunks rise with the carbonation then fall to the bottom of the glass again only to be picked up and rising again later, what a show and its entertaining. Initial the bitterness is less than expected, but still bitter. Decently creamy carbonation which is fine and bubbly. Has some nice attributes about it if I can get over the mildly annoying hops. Pretty nice overall experience. I think I even have shades of orval peering thru at times. However, that slightly aggravating bitterness keeps popping its little head up in the finish. One of the better APAs IMHO. Of all the APAs I’ve tasted, except for the higher amount of bitterness, I found this to be approahing the perfect taste and feel of Orval, weird heh? And the price is very affordable. That sediment on the bottom is a little scary and I’m not sure if I should consume it or not! S4l5f3t4o9

Pours dark orange / amber with a rocky tan head. The aroma has doughy toasty malt, some butter and a bit of earthy hops. Medium smooth body with some moderate carbonation. The flavor starts with dirty rich caramel malt and some hoppiness. The finish is dry and lightly papery. Okay, but nothing special. (6/3/6/3/13 - 3.1)
rerate notes - Appearance is the same. The aroma has lots of citrus & piny hops with some malt in the back. Palate is same as original notes. The flavor has lots of balance with fresh spicy, lightly citrus hops and lightly toasted malt and the finish has light bready malt and spicy hops. Good beer that was much better than the first time I had it.

Pour is a cloudy orange with slmoat no head at all. Aroma is a verny nice hop with some grapefruit. Flavor is more wet hops with a very subtle malt than does not make much of an apprarance. Decent but nothing outsanding.

Bottled@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is malts, hops and quite dull earthyness. Flavour is quite much the same. Fruity and grassy aftertaste.

Bomber. Pours hazy copper with white head. Aroma is floral hops, pine and caramal malts. Flavor is piney hops and caramel malts. Body is thin and watery. One of the worst APA’s I have ever had. Disapointing. At least it was cheap.
