Allagash Tripel Belgian Ale

I am not a big Belgian Ale fan, so it isn't a surprise that I didn't like this beer.  There were others with me that also tasted it, and actually like Belgian Ale and they also didn't like it.

I think we threw out pretty much the whole bottle it was so bad.

I give it 0 out of 5 hops.

Stay away from this one.


Moylander Double IPA

The Moylander Double IPA had the appearance of a cloudy, unfiltered beer.  It was a fairly dark amber color, and had a semi-sweet smell.

The first taste of the beer was pure hops!  It really hit you pretty hard, but it finished pretty smooth.  I thought that the bitter taste lasted a good while, but a few of my fellow samplers disagreed and thought it ended too abruptly.

The alcohol content was a solid 8.5%, as you would probably expect from a double IPA.

Overall I really liked this beer and would recommend it for anyone that really likes a strong hop.

I give it 4.5 out of 5 hops!
