live tasting!
here for your reading pleasure is my real time reviews of Swans Extra IPA and Moylan's Hopsickle Imperial Ale. didn't have a great day today, so its a two beer review this time folks! and two heavy hitters! the extra ipa is 6.8% and the moylan's is 9.2%. forget what ails you! swans was incredibly carbonated and heady. unfiltered, so kinda cloudy. had kind of a belgian lager taste to it to me... you know, on the sour yeasty side... definitely not my favourite flavour... so not my new favourite ipa. would i drink it again if you bought it for me? for sure. would i drink it instead of coors light - doubly for sure. will i buy another big bottle for myself? doubtful. i find the hopsickle a little on the malty side... drinkable for sure, but one the malty side for me. good head, some lace remaining... live yeast, so its a bit sedimenty and cloudy. the alcohol is nicely tempered though, it just feels a little...
