Beer 42 - Moylan's India Pale Ale

August 29, 2010 - Beer 42
Moylan's Brewing Co India Pale Ale
Brewed in Novato, CA bought at Spec's Liquor, Houston TX and drunk at home in Katy, TX while Patri prepared shepherds pie for dinner.
The bottle says "Exciting and provocative, India Pale Ale provides a stimulating assault on all senses. Our version of the IPA style possesses a deep golden hue that nearly winks at you from the glass. Extremely full bodied it's rich flavor wraps your tongue in a lush blanket of sweet malt with a spicy finish. Two hop varieties in the dry hopping provide an enticing floral bouquet, with notes of resin and herbs, creating a delightfully quaffable and refreshing ale we're sure you'll love"
Wow, ad writers run amok. But they have some stuff right. It is full bodied and crisp and full of flavor, but there are no signs of sweetness, in fact the bitterness ofvrje hops was the over riding taste, more rein less herbs. A beer for serious drinkers.
