Feb 20, 2009 Pour is a clear orange with a soapy white head. Aroma is big time citrus and pine? Check. Flavor is again a strong hop with a huge sweetness that follows. After the swallow there is a nice pine resin left on the tounge and some alcohol is felt the more you drink of it. Still a decent beer and will cure your hop jones.

Feb 18, 2009 Pours a very clear red-copper with a white head, produced some nice lacing on the glass, aromas of pine hops and orange fruit with toasted malt, caramel and oranges, has citrus hops, toasted malt and some caramel flavors along with malt sweetness,
appears to have more toasted malt and caramel flavors than the typical IPA2, no alcohol on the nose or taste buds, it is hidden well, a nice IPA2.

Feb 8, 2009 Pours a clear copper with white head. Aroma is copper and pine. Flavor is very much pine and minerals. Definite citrus notes present. Body is fair and nothing striking in general with this beer.

Feb 5, 2009 Bottle, $3.00 in CT. Pours clear orange-yellow with a clean head. Aroma of orange citrus and pine, primarily, with a backdrop of caramel. Mouthfeel is sticky with a long finish. This is definitely a DIPA with serious malt character. Flavor is robust, and levels on a sweet-yet-hoppy note that blasts you with ripe fruit, sugar, pine, and a touch of toastiness. There is a LOT of flavor here. Goes down with discernable alcohol heat. However, in this age of Big Beers, I felt that Mojo Risin has little new to offer both in terms of a DIPA and also in comparison to Boulder’s Mojo IPA. It also flirts dangerously close with an American Strong, which to a Hophead is disappointing.

Feb 3, 2009 Orange color with a fluffy white head. Very citrusy aroma. Lots of citrus in the flavor too. Mostly grapefruit with a boozy finish. Not the best but still solid.

Feb 3, 2009 Hazy bright orange pour. Fluffy off white head and some spotty lace. Grapefruit and lemon zest on the nose. Citrus hops and some caramel

Jan 31, 2009 Draft at Rattle n Hum. Silky, creamy head, a great looking beer. Surprisingly the aroma is more cotton candy than hops which I was expecting. The flavor even more surprisingly isn’t very hoppy (at least not in the way I like my IIPA’s) as it actually tastes like cotton freakin candy. Hey, watch Southern Tier make a cotton candy beer next. This stuff is a bit boozy once you get past all of the residual sugars. A real trainwreck with some orange finally peeking through. This beer was just released and just tapped so storage and conditions aren’t an issue. I expect so much more from "Colorados Oldest Microbrewery". Damn it.
