Moylans Tipperary Pale Ale

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

On tap at Beachwood BBQ. A great pale ale. Nothing terribly amazing, however it has full flavour at a relatively low alcohol content that won’t knock you flat on your face like some more aggressive pale ales/IPAs.

Clear orange amber with a thin head. Smell is very lgiht and subtle hops. Flavor is clean and simple but drinkable. A hint watery and there seems to be a lack of balance here. THin, but not overly so. Drinkable and clean but not amazing.

An orange amber pour with frothy off-white head. Sweet oranges, citrus, grain, and herbal hops (like tea as others have said). A nicely balance pale ale, but nothing special. I would drink it again if it was a good price.

Bottle from Liquid Solutions.
Pours amber with a beige head. Smell is tea like hops. Taste is clean, bitter, neutral hop flavor with a mild malt background. Clean flavor, but not much going on aside from the relatively bland bitterness. Needs more hop flavor and more body perhaps. Not too impressed but it’s easily drinkable.

Drank it on tap at the brewery. Pours a golden color. Medium bodied with pine aroma and flavor. Very dry, nice finish.

Bottle. Good citrus hop nose with light caramel. Cloudy with flocculation and a great head. Strong bitterness without much complexity. Good mouthfeel but slightly fry.

A cold pour throws a tall froth and a golden caraml liquid w/ superb head retention and lacework. Strong aromas of bright hopsy citrus rind and sweet maltiness. A high hop rate pushes forward then is diligently balanced, but not tamed, by a dense malt body. Biscuits made by grandma, citrus picked by grandad, florals by Oprah, and leather by Judas Priest. The finish lingers w/ strict bittering and fruity malt.

22oz bottle. Pours a solid orange color with a moderate, crisp, white head that fades kind of slow and leaves a little lace. Smells nutty and malty with an earthy hop backbone. Tastes malty and grainy, maybe a bit of hay flavor in there as well. Very earthy hop tones on the finish. This brew is not as nutty tasting as some of their other ales. Thin but not too thin body with good, active carbonation.
