Here are some more!!! AAAHHHH YEEEEAAHHH!
Moylander Double IPA - Moylan's Brewing
Pretty much what makes me happy in a Double IPA. Understandably sweet with a well balanced hop profile. They call it "fat and resiny, with aggressive and excessive hops swinging on an enormous malt backbone like naughty monkeys on a vine." Yup, I can definitely see that. One more thing I should mention...I didn't finish the whole double deuce (22 oz) last night because I ended up having to do more revisions to our (graduate cohort) unit plan than I thought and I needed the majority of my wits. Soooo...I put the rest in the fridge (uncapped). Fast-forward to this evening. I was watching Man v. Food and lamenting the fact that I am not Adam while finishing the last of that beer. Flat but cold, halfway like a cask, but definitely still worthy of a positive experience. It reminded me that yes, definitely sweet, but really well hoply balanced (you know what I mean).
As I am writing this blog, I am working on this one...
Whoop Pass Double IPA - Silver City Brewery
This one, along with the Ballz Deep, was what my lovely wife picked up for me during that trip to the south sound. What can I say about this one. The malting character is a little less meaty than the Moylander. The hops are earthier and chewier, possibly from a more pronounced yeasty background. I could be way off on this, but you're not paying for this review anyway. A nice drinking experience, just a step behind the Moylander in my opinion.
Now, back to my beer...and one of my other vices, Storm Chasers!
Until next time,
Lopez Jas
