Boulder Beer Mojo IPA

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Boulder, Colorado USA

A very nice beer indeed. Pours clear golden color with a big fluffy head that leaves lace. Smells of spicy & floral hops (of course) The flavor is dominated by the spiciness of the Amarillo’s but there is also a great fruitiness going on here with some grapefruit bitterness, surprisingly though there is a sweetness in this beer that may be a little much for me. Drinks easily, I had a Bud-only drinker share this bottle with me and he never once had a problem with the smoothness of the beer. Overall it is nice, not sure I would buy a six pack, but I would throw it in a mix and match no doubt.

bottle, cant believe i havent rated this one yet. golden/copper pour. thin frothy head. lascing. aroma is fresh citrus hops and sweet malts. nicely hopped. light caramel malts. almost a little thin. mild lingering bitterness.

12 oz bottle from Charleston’s (New Lenox, IL) poured into a tulip-esque glass. Pours a decent hazy amber, small white head with some nice flowery hop aromas. Initial is nice, if a bit bland from expected. I know it’s typical to expect and want a hop bomb or atleast a strong dose of both malt and hops, but this just isn’t quite up to par with my expectations. Taste is a little bitter up front with some grapefruit citrusy hoppiness, leaving the back end open to some more malt that clouds the hoppiness I really enjoy. A nice malt profile that puts the hops to shame. Decent, but not up to par.

From a bottle poured a clear orangish color with a fair amount of head. Nice hoppy flavor with a lingering aftertaste.

12 oz. bottle. Hazy amber pour, foamy white head. Smell is rather light on hops. But it’s all there in the taste. Plenty of grapefruitty Amarillo right off the bat. Yet malts are nice and sweet, giving it kind of a Ruby Red Grapefruit juice vibe. So despite the usual heaviness of the style, this goes down kind of light for the summer. Even a touch of flowers. Body is fully tuned to deliver a full IPA experience.

12oz bottle courtesy of my dad. But that means I don’t know how old it is. Pours a pale gold with a nice head, but it recedes quickly. The aroma is like an aged hoppy beer, so perhaps this has sat for a little long. But the flavour isn’t worse for wear. It’s very well balanced, with a good malt base and mellowed hops. I’ll re-rate once I have a fresh one.

This is an excellent IPA out of Colorado. It has an excellent clear flavor of balanced hops without any bitterness. The aroma isn’t powerful and there is a light reddish amber color. This IPA is just about perfect for the palate.

Pours a cloudy apricot with a long lasting eggshell head and good lacing. Nose is earthy, with pine and citrus undertones. Taste is bright and bold, with pine repeated, along with oranges. Mouthfeel is crisp and bitter. This is a keeper.
