Moylan's Hopsickle Imperial Ale

This beer was very good!  It was labeled an Triple Hoppy Imperial Ale and, as you might expect it was very hoppy indeed, just the way I like them.  It really tasted like an IPA rather than an Imperial Ale, probably because of all the extra hops that must have been added.

The beer poured a nice golden brown and had a slight head.  The aroma was a mild citrus.  The hoppy after taste lingered strongly on the tongue, but was never too bitter.

This is a very enjoyable beer.  I highly recommend it.  I give it 4.5 out of 5 hops!


Mein Nelson Sauvin

The Mein Nelson Sauvin was bottled in a very fancy and unique looking bottle as you can see from the picture.  I was expecting a wheat beer, or something similar but was surprised to find it a very good Belgian type of beer, but with very unique flower and honey flavors.

This was a very drinkable Belgian type Ale, although I don't think they call it a Belgian.  I am not a big fan of sweet beers, and even though this wasn't very sweet it was still too sweet for my tastes.  I would recommend you give it a try because it was very unique and interesting, and quite drinkable.

I give it 3 out of 5 hops!


Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout

I typically don't like Stout's, but when I saw this in my 50 beers I just had to try it.  It was the Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout.  I was intrigued to find out if it really tasted like a cappuccino, and it really did have some distinct flavor of coffee!

It was a very heavy beer, so there was no way I was about to drink all 22oz, especially at 12% alcohol.

Even though it wasn't an IPA, I really enjoyed it.  The flavors were rich and smooth and it had that typical syrup like texture of a good stout.  Overall I would rate this at 3.5 out of 5 hops and recommend it to anyone  that likes a good stout!
