Boulder Beer Mojo Risin

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Boulder, Colorado USA

Thanks fishingnet for the share. This beer changed my opinion of Boulder Beer after Sweaty Betty. Pours orange amber with nose of malt, pine sap, and a hint of citrus. Bold hops attack from the beginning. Flavor is lots of malt, and aggressive, yet enjoyable, pine hops with noticeable amounts of caramel flavor. Very enjoyable beer, and at 10% the alcohol is well hidden amongst the forest of hops.

Clear golden, little head. Nose is fruit and sweet malt. Taste- quite cloying, the Amarillo hops are a favorite of mine but they are subdued due to the heavy malt bill. I think this is a beer best consumed when immediately fresh- this bottle must be on the downturn which is too bad. Also had a strange aftertaste that I could place- whatever it was it wasn’t tasty. I had very high hopes for this beer and I enjoyed the regular Mojo. I love DIPA’s, but I think I would take a normal Mojo over this. Its an average double in my opinion.

Bottle. Very strong tangerine and malt aroma. Body is a nice hazy orange amber, with a small off-white head. Flavor is full of delicious bitterness and citrus, tangerine and piney grapefruit. Nice and powerful, although a little unbalanced overall.

Crushed with Jakebra. Pretty nice DIPA. A little scratchy. Sticky, with lots of bittering hops. Flavor ends in a slight dishsoap taste, but its not overpowering and doesnt destroy the beer like Left Hand did.

A very tasty double IPA from Boulder Beer. This was a strong but smooth IPA with a hoppy and almost creamy texture. Overall very good! Pours golden with a short head and traces of yeast.

nearly more of a strong ale or even barley wine then an IIPA on account of the extra malt. the huge malt bill is apparent in the balance evidenced by the chewy and substantial mouthfeel which temper the huge hops well. fruit and citrus are subdued and muted almost behind the massive grain. an excellent big beer none the less which almost loses points just for being classified with the real hop bombs.

Bottle at the Headkeeper (Greensburg). Pours a hazy yellow, soapy white head. Aroma is citrus and pine. Flavor is more of the same, maybe a touch of grass in the background. Not much in the bitterness department.

Bomber (on Sale $3.99). Best bang for its buck! Poured a dark orange cloud, nice fluffy head and some lacing. Smell is of lots of citrus, with oranges lemons and a bit of grapefruit, with just a touch of pine trees as well. There’s a some hints of bread dough malts in the background, along with a little bit of a sugary aroma. There’s absolutely no hint of the 10.5% ABV at all. Taste; this is a bit more piney upfront than it was in the aroma, with the citrus being secondary, with oranges and lemons. Nice brew.
