About: I recall my first sip of beer very fondly. At a very early age I was watching a baseball game with my father, and he noticed I was curious as to the colorful red and white canned beverage in his hand and finally offered me a sip. At that point I felt like I was a part of something special. As I was never able to touch those elusive drinks prior to that moment, I felt like a grown man, sipping the sudsy elixir with my dad watching sports on the tv screen.
That was a one time event though, and it wasnt until my teen years when I realized the magical effects beer can have at social functions. I became enamored immediately with the level of fun that can be had while drinking what I also had confessed was the most refreshing drink in existence.
After years of experimenting with every drink available to me, I have found my tastes and preferences have matured. Still, more so than ever I am driven by the quest to find the ultimate beverage. Though I know there is no such thing I am always trying something new to find my favorites. I enjoy variety, and also believe the only way to discover truly what you enjoy the most is by trying everything you can. Not only do you learn about the various styles and flavors associated with the many kinds of beer, but you also learn what you like as well as what perhaps you are not particularly fond of. There is a time and a mood for just about any style of beer crafted today, and the more you experience the better you are prepared to suit your own tastes.
I love beer, pure and simple.See Authors Posts (52) | Filed under: Beer Reviews
Moylan’s Moylander Double IPA
Name: Moylander Double IPA
Brewery: Moylan‘s
Overall Rating: A-
Style: Double IPA
Serving Style: 22oz Bottle
ABV: 8.5%
Price: $7.99
Appearance: A fairly clear amber tone, covered with a fluffy head leaving behind a scattered lacing all around the glass.
Aroma: Strong floral hops make their way to your nose quickly, with an almost creamy malt scent backing. The aroma tells the tale that this is a serious Double IPA. Maybe a hint of fruits there but wait, more hops.
Flavor: This bold Double IPA delivers for those who seek out pure resiny concentrated hops as if the only ingredient in beer. Good bitterness engulfs your palate completely, with just enough malts so your face does not cringe at the amount of hops here. The taste is a bit warmed by the alcohol as well. The Moylander is a no nonsense full on American Double IPA make no mistake, and in case you missed this somehow the aftertaste too is explosively bitter.
Body: The body is full and your mouth is coated with flavors, the carbonation is a welcome touch that spreads nicely to inject all this brew offers into your taste buds.
Enjoyability: I certainly hope this is not your first IPA, or else you may not try another IPA in this lifetime. Though for those that appreciate the flower known as the hop dominating their brew, you may just well stumble upon blissful perfection once you try the Moylander.
Another take: Hated it , The rest of em
