Commercial Description:
Only 120 precious barrels were brewed, adding more than half a ton of extra malt and twice the amount of Amarillo hops, so prepare your self for a full sensory explosion. The double dry-hop addition elevates the grapefruit-like aroma and flavor to an outrageous intensity, while the added malt raises the alcohol level from 7% all the way to 10% by volume.

Murky golden beer out of the bottle with a frothy egg shell head. The nose has an odd likeness to pennies and grapefruit. Flavors of candied orange rind, old grapefruit zest, apricot, apple sauce and pine. The alcohol presents itself in the finish. It seems somehow muddled though. There are a lot more interesting IIPAs out there.

As intense as this is supposed to be, it’s very drinkable and smooth as they come. If not for the alcohol content, I could use this as a session beer. Great stuff.

Mr. Mojo Risin. Great brew. Hoppy, citrus. Decent amount of malt to go along with it.

(Bottle, thanks Degarth) Pours a light amber orange colour with a small off white head. The aroma is hoppy with tones of grapefruit, dried herbs and resin, malty with tones of toast, cookies and hints of caramel. Fruity and sugary undertones of almond paste, dried apricot, dried banana, mango, starfruit, canned pineapple and canned pear. Hints of flower water. Some alcohol warmth in the nose. The flavour is fruity, toasty and cookie like malty, resiny and grapefruity hops with a late medium bitterness. A nice and discrete sweetness balances the beer well. The mouthfeel is clean, round, a bit sticky and a bit watery. The aftertaste is of toast, fruits and bitter, grapefruity hops. Medium full bodied. A very drinkable, very fruity but maybe a bit too friendly IIPA.

Bottle. Pours gold, with a thin white head. Aoma is sweet and fruity, mango, oranges, grapefruit, not overpowering, but pleasant. Taste is more grapefruit and sweet malt. Light body for the amount of alcohol present. Bittner finish.

Pours a golden amber color and keeps a thin head for the duration of the pour. The aroma is more malt than hop. The taste is not as hoppy as I would have expected. The smack of the hops that I was expecting was somewhat overshadowed by the sweetness of the malts. The balance is more towards the malt side than I prefer in a DIPA. The alcohol is well-masked though and this is an easy drinker. A good but not outstanding DIPA. I actually preferred it’s Mojo sibling.
