chef201atc (249), Weatherford, Texas, USA Apr 15, 2007 Nice orange tinted amber color, white head that fades but leaves a nice lace. Nose is a bit malty, nice citrus underneath. Medium carbonation, medium bodied, just a touch sticky. Nice grapefruit flavor, decent bitter finish. Alocohol is hiden well. JasonG (700), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Apr 14, 2007 22oz bottle: Pours a cloudy light orange/yellow color with medium sized off white head. Aroma is full of sharp, bright citrusy hops, bit of grapefruit and apricot. Flavor is rather fruity, with grapefruit, peach, pear, slightly spicey, with fair amount of citrusy herbal hops and caramel. Finish is balanced but with a firm bitterness. A nice brew overall, a bit too much going on, too estery, etc., but still good. SledgeJr (2957), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Apr 14, 2007 In the bomber bottle from Beertopia. Pours a beautifully deep dark and dense gold- so much that it seems a light amber in color. The head forms an enormous white pillow that is barely contained in an imperial pint glass when you pour this at 52°F. Aroma is outstanding: it smells downright green. green fresh mown grass. Grapefruit. Apricots. Really ripe pears. The flavor has about the same hop bitterness as the regular Mojo, but the stupid amount of malt sweetness does this beer a fantastic favor to create balance. The candy sweetness also has a great orange flavor. Thick and chewy palate. Good stuff. Bockyhorsey (2487), Mesa, Arizona, USA Apr 14, 2007 22 oz. bottle. Aroma was more to malty side than citrus. Cooper body with fizzy off white head. Juicy grapefriut and some citrus vine chewy flavor. Dry on the palate but that sweet citrus lingers for a decent aftertaste. Good Brew. dillinja (24), Boulder, Colorado, USA Apr 13, 2007 Had this a day after trying regular Mojo, making comparison inevitable. Similar golden color, nice head and a lot more aroma. Hits big with citrus hop flavors. Aftertaste indelible and satisfying, like tracks in steep powder behind you. Socks a bigger taste wallop than Mojo, but the higher ABV is stealthy like a Shaolin shadowboxer. Or in the words of Desmond Dekker: Beautiful and Dangerous. jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA Apr 12, 2007 Pours orange/golden with a big creamy orange/tan head. Strong semi-sweet grapefruit aroma. Flavor is initially bitter with lots of grapefruit, but the bitterness subsides to an undertone leaving a sweeter grapefruit flavor, and light roasted malt background. Bitterness returns slightly on the medium, dry finish. Overall okay, but a bit unbalanced DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Apr 10, 2007 Pours a nice burnt orange color.Huge grapefruit aroma. Flavor is of a bitter grapefruit and a hop explosian in my mouth.I am not a huge fan of this style but the guys @ Boulder accomplished what they were going after.I think all hop heads will celebrate with this one.It is easy drinking with a good hop finish. bu11zeye (5430), Frisco, Texas, USA Apr 8, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a clear golden body with spare white bubbles. Aroma of tangerine, peach, pineapple, and toasted malt. Flavor has a citrus peel-like bitter hoppiness with some caramel malt.
