Boulder Beer Mojo Risin

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA

Bottle at Monk’s Café, Wallingatan
Beautiful copper color, hazy. Luscious caramel and toffee aroma, with sweet nuts, a hint of citrus fruits. Smooth mouthfeel, rich caramel flavor; strong hopping, with a balanced mix of bitter oranges and resins. Excellent.

Bottle@Monks Cafe, Stockholm Apperance: Amber coloirsh with a nice, white, head. Aroma: Potatochips, Malt, Caramel, Hops, Honey. Flavor: Tropical fruit, Honey, Caramel, Grass, Hops, Flowers. Palate: Very smooth and nicely balanced. Quaffable despite its strentgh. Feels like a lighter version of hopslam. I’d like a case of this soon.

Dark blond with white head. Grapefruit and alcohol aroma notes. Hop dominated grapefruit and sour lemon flavour notes. Sour, lasting bitter finish.

22 oz. bottle that I received as a gift. Pours a hazy orange gold with a moderate yellow-white head that lasted through the first third of the glass and left very little lace. Aroma of overripe oranges and sweet malt. The flavor is malt up front followed by overripe orange and a bit of weak grapefruit. Strong flavor of alcohol towards the finish. Perhaps this bottle was sitting on the shelf for a while before making its way to me, but this beer was dull and lackluster.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear deep golden, brief head. Doughy malt comes through already in the aroma. Grapefruity hops compliment it well. Sweet and fruity with full body and pleasantly soft mouthfeel. Strong flavour of toffee, sugar and grapefruit. Powerful but balanced bitterness.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear amber colour with a low sticky white foam. Crisp and fresh but still really thick and viscous aroma of flowers, crackers, resin, biscuits and mild fudge. Full-bodied with notes of resin, crackers, flowers, mild grapefruit and dense sweet cookies. A really solid example of the style. Long firm medium-bitter finsih of resin and grapefruit with a firm malt foundation of cookies and fudge. A really nice DIPA with a malt-character to remember.

Perfection! This is a simply exquisite beer. Some of the earlier raters who gave this less than 2 either had a skunked bottle or simply don’t know what they’re talking about. Such a viscous, mouth tingling beer with almost perfect balance between hop and malt. Alcohol well hidden, grapefruit intensity certainly present but not cloying. One of my all time favorites!

Extremely light in color and lacking the STRONG hop flavor of most double IPAs... it’s very malty. It could be that I got an old/aged bottle and the hops have mellowed. Quite tasty, though!
