Boulder Beer Mojo Risin

bomber. clear light orange pour with white head and a fair amount of lacing. citrus aroma. thin palate for a DIPA. taste of syrpy malt and apricot. has a good warmth to it. easy drinking for the 10% alcohol. imperial ipa’s are my favorite type -- so I like it. but a bit of a letdown within the style. comes off a bit weak.

Considering it’s a double IPA, it has a light hops aroma. The beer has a clear, translucent body with a reddish amber hue. Mmm, but the taste... This might not be a good time to rate a beer, since I’ve just got off of a 5 hour road trip and have craved a good brew the whole time. But the flavor is surprising. It has a typical strong hops introduction, which makes sense for a double IPA. But, I tasted two aftertastes on my initial hit. The first was an almost iron tinge to the flavor. The other was a malty-hoppy mixture at the end. It’s a really complex taste that’s hard for me to describe. Would definitely drink again!

Bottle. A straightforward double IPA. Orange-amber body below an modest off-white head. Aroma is mostly citrus — grapefruit and orange with some resin. Behind that is light malty honey-like sweetness. The flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet, but turns moderately bitter on the back of the tongue along with a slight plasticy flavor. Alcohol also apparent in the dry finish. Medium to full body with a slightly sticky texture.

Deep amber/copper color with a fizzy off white head. Pine and citrus aromas. Flavors of hops and citrus. Solid IPA imo, but not the best.

Clear orange color with a big beige head. Aroma of grapefruit and piney hops. Flavor of tangy citrus hops and sweet malts.

Frothy head with great lacing. Grapefruit aroma with a Citrus taste and finish. Slight metallic taste at the finish.

Draught: Aroma of floral and citrus hops, pine, resin, and fruit. Poured amber in color with a small, off-white head that diminished. Clear. Sparkling. Good lacing. Medium bitter flavor. Tastes of citrus hops and grapefruit. Medium body. Sticky texture. Average carbonation. Citrus hop finish.

12 oz bottle: Pours a tempting amber and ruby with a thick, sticky head. A nice mix of spicy and citrusy hops meet the nose. A blanket of ethery alcohol warms the hops. The body is sweet, caramel and bread, layered with intense grapefruit, orange and tangerine. Rindy hops take over from there, leading this into a bitter finish. A very well built DIPA - not quite as complex as you would expect from a high ABV brew, but still good.
