Day 67, 3.8.11., Moylan's - IPA

Also over at Moylan's, I tried the IPA.  Sometimes I feel that trying s brewery's plain old IPA is a good way to evaluate the brewery as a whole.  In Moylan's case it was hard to pass up the double IPA and a triple IPA, but the good news is, there are 299 more days to give those a try.
The IPA is crisp golden and clear.  It has a light foamy white head.  The nose is really nice with big floral herbal hops.  It's very fresh and green.
On the palate, there's some mild meyer lemon notes, as well as a fair amount of malt backing.  The malt character creates a nice contrast to the beers sharp peppery bitterness.  It's fairly intense without being too unbalanced.
A nice easy drinking, well bittered IPA.
6.5% ABV
7 out of 10
