Astringent bitter on palate, found it hard to finish bottle which is not true for 95% of IPAs I have had. Some acidic orange flavour but mouth puckered too much, needs more malt.

Golden brown color, nice lacing. Aroma has notes of grapefruit and apricot. Some piney bitterness, lightly sweet caramel malts. They’re not reinventing the wheel here, but it’s a solid beer.

12 oz. bottle. Clear gold pour with a white frothy head. Spicy, piney hop aroma quickly evident. Clean malt flavor and feel with citrus and piney hop flavors that last into the bitter finish. Obviously dry hopped. Quite enjoyable and thirst quenching.

Bright golden amber with a thick white head which is retained well. Nice citrusy hoppy aroma with some sweet nutty malt presence. Definitely an IPA but this is well balanced and not over the top hoppy. Relatively short finish for an IPA, but this makes it refreshing and thirst quenching. Could use a bit more body, but a very good IPA.

golden color thick white well laced head. Smells like a kids ceral but I couldn’t figure out which one. A sweet sugar and light citrus aroma. Full oily creamy palate. a dry grapefruit hop w/ some nice carmel balance finishes evenly bitter. Good stuff.

Bottle acquired in trade with SpringsLicker (thanks!). Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of pineapple, oranges and some citrus. Softer tastes of pineapple, grapefruit, and citrus. Light to lightly medium bitterness. Not a bitter hop bomb.

Amber color. Strong fruity hops (grapefruit…). The body structure is not very complex, the bitterness is pleasant, and very long.

Pours light orange with a small white head. Big grapefruit aroma. Taste is citrus, grapefruit and slight pine. Boulder Mojo IPA anyone. Light. Very drinkable. great ipa.
