Moylander Double IPA
On tap in a shaker pint. See-thru gold with a finger of off-white foam. Okayish retention, but a fair amount of sticky lacing is left up and down. The shaker is an unfortunate vessel to show off the big citrusy sweet nose. In fact, I almost missed the pine altogether, but it sure doesnt go unnoticed come sipping time. Scorching pine bitterness with citrus playing a supporting part. Some grassiness reveals itself at the swallow. Medium-bodied with a fair amount of malty sweetness, but it manages to mostly dry out a nice resiny finish. A bit of booziness is the only complaint I have (dial down that malt bill a bit and I suppose youd take care of the extra sweetness and booze at once). Overall impression: While overshadowed by Hopsickle, Moylander is a pretty tasty DIPA in its own right. Worth a try (although Id recommend it on tap instead of the risk of an undated bottle).
