Boulder Beer Mojo Risin

THOUGHTS: I haven’t had many Boulder Beers, but I’ve like most of them. I liked this one too, but there was nothing special about it. It hid the alcohol, incredibly well at first. The flavor balance could have been a little better, but it was fairly well balanced. It got better and better as it warmed. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a light to medium orange, with and average to large, creamy, off-white head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was moderate caramel malt, moderate citrus (grapefruit and orange) hops and some alcohol as it warmed. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet and lightly acidic; while the finish was moderately sweet and heavily bitter with an average to long duration. There was caramel malt and then a bunch of orange and grapefruit hops. The alcohol come out much more as it warmed. The medium to full body was sort of syrupy with fizzy carbonation and an ever so slightly alcoholic and a metallic, but not harsh finish.

Very appealing appreance bright golden oragne, white head. Real crisp grapefruit hops. Not overbearingly bitter but definately crisp. Great taste. Well Done.

Pours a golden crystal clear orange with a white head, nice sudsy lacing in the snifter. Aromas of sweet malt and citrus hops, a little honey, some lemon also. Taste is sweet caramel malt with grapefruit hop bitterness, and honey also comes through in the flavor. Very crisp for the style. Reminds me a little of hopslam. Solid DIPA.

Tasted 6/13/08. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a dark golden amber hue. Bubbled ring of oof-white head. Citrus sugary malty nose. Grapefruit hops. Solid nose. Full bodied and super crisp. Big bitterness. Lemon lime citrus flavors. Super bright grapefruit notes. Mild sweetness associated with high gravity brews. Hop dominant, but a good palate roll!

Enjoy this beer, for it is classic. Tastes like any other well made double IPA. Bitter yet smooth and full of hop flavor till the end.

Color is a golden tan with good carbonation and a large frothy head. Aroma is somewhat subdued for an American DIPA. Medium sweet aroma of grapefruit and caramel malt. Flavor is a wonderful balance of american hops and caramel malt. Creamy texture, medium bodied, nice long dry-bitter finish. Maybe a bit thin for a DIPA but nonetheless a very tasty brew.

Caramel honey aroma. Frothy off white head withe a deep orange golden body. Fllavor is hoppy, lightly bitter, some sweet honey flavors, some cereal flavors and a light saltiness. Palate is mild. Bitter sweet duration. More like and IPA than a DIPA. Good though.

Aroma is all grapefruit. Flavor is a slightly sour initial taste, morphing into a hoppy one. Pours yellow orange with minimal head. The tartness in this DIPA is distracting - shouldn’t be there.
