I just had a tasting of Moylan's Hopsickle Imperial Ale. The bottle says "Triple Hoppy" and I'll agree to that. It's got a 9.2% ABV and says that it has Tomahawk, Cascade and Centennial hops. It has a good sweetness to it, which is expected given the gravity, but the hops really come through to balance it nicely. It's not labeled as an IPA or IIPA, especially since they also make a Double IPA that I picked up but haven't tried yet. The Hopsickle is great and if you're a hophead and enjoy IPA's and IIPA's, I suggest that if you can find it, try it. The store that I got it from had only one case, and it was in the back stock room. The guy restocking the shelves saw what I had in my basket, including a Stone Old Guardian Barleywine, and thought I might like a taste. I tried it and asked him for a bottle.
